Synopsis:

"Crocodile" takes us back to the late 70s, where a tranquil beach town falls victim to an ever-growing menace—a giant mutated crocodile. With each passing moment, the beast becomes larger and hungrier, possibly due to the aftermath of an atomic explosion. Driven by an insatiable thirst for blood, the crocodile embarks on a rampage, devouring anything unfortunate enough to cross its path.

The film follows the story of Dr. Akom and Dr. Stromm, who find their idyllic family vacation turning into a nightmare when three of their loved ones suddenly vanish. Tragedy strikes, and the doctors uncover the terrifying truth—the killer crocodile is responsible for the disappearances. Determined to bring an end to the carnage, they join forces with Tanaka, a fearless and rugged fisherman, to venture into treacherous waters and eradicate the monstrous creature once and for all.
