Dinosaurus! is a 1960 science fiction film directed by Irvin Yeaworth and produced by Jack H. Harris.

==Plot== The film is about an American engineering team led by Bart (Ward Ramsey) building a harbor on a Caribbean island when they accidentally uncover two dinosaurs that have been frozen in suspended animation for millions of years. They are a Brontosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus rex. That night, during a storm, the beasts are struck by lightning and come back to life. The islanders have no idea that the dinosaurs are alive because of the storm and are now roaming the island. Also awakened is a caveman (Gregg Martell), who initially is unknown to the islanders as he was buried some distance away. The Tyrannosaurus hunts across the island, attacking a beach guard and trolley cart. The caveman meanwhile stumbles into, and is bewildered by, a modern house. There he meets and befriends an island boy with a love of dinosaurs, Julio. The caveman introduces Julio to the Brontosaurus, who he is friendly to, and they go on a ride across the island.
