Le film retrace la vie et le travail du climatologue et glaciologue Claude Lorius et apporte une réflexion sur l'environnement et le rôle des hommes dans les changements climatiques. Il affirme avec des conclusions scientifiques, tirées des travaux de ses équipes, que le bouleversement climatique est « indiscutablement dû à l'homme ». Le rejet de gaz carbonique dont l'homme est responsable contribue à augmenter la température moyenne autour du globe, toutes les régions étant touchées sans exception. Cela entraîne des cataclysmes de plus en plus dévastateurs.

The film depicts the event of 1990, when American paleontologist Sue Hendrickson working with Pete Larson and his team discovered the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex ever found (nicknamed "Sue") while digging in the badlands of South Dakota. The skeleton was seized from Larson by the federal government, followed by a ten-year-long battle with the FBI, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Maurice Williams, the landowner on whose property the bones were discovered. Pete Larson also spent 18 months in prison.
