AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Monkey Puzzle follows a group of five young friends who journey into pristine wilderness. The object of their search - the Wollemi Pine - is a "dinosaur" tree. Scientists say it should have gone extinct at the time of the dinosaurs. It didn't. Somehow it clung onto life. For this reason the location of the last remote gully on earth, which hosts this tree, is withheld from the public. The puzzle, that is this rare tree, sets up the film.' (Introduction)
