100 Million B.C. (released as Jurassic Commando in France) is a 2008 direct-to-DVD action film by The Asylum.
Its title is similar to both 10,000 B.C. and One Million B.C., but its plot bears a closer resemblance to both Jurassic Park and Carnosaur. The film, to a certain degree, also bears some similarity to events depicted in the 1984 film The Philadelphia Experiment.

Plot
The film centers on a group of Navy SEALs, led by American Dr. Frank Reno (Michael Gross), who once worked on the Philadelphia Experiment. The film begins in 2008, when Reno has purportedly perfected time travel technology. The SEALs use it to travel backwards to the year 70,000,000 B.C. (despite the movie's title) of the Cretaceous period, in order to rescue a previous, 1949 expedition led by Reno's brother Erik (Christopher Atkins).
Reno's team arrives in Gondwana at a point in time which is 6 years after the 1949 team arrived, to find only a few survivors. The SEAL team is ill-equipped for the dangers of this prehistoric period, and is decimated by dinosaurs and poisonous plant life.
Having accomplished their mission, remnants of the two teams merge into one and return to the present, but in the process the time machine malfunctions, allowing a fully-grown Giganatosaurus to travel to the present and wreak havoc in downtown Los Angeles. Reno stays behind, ostensibly to close the portal, but instead transports himself to the year 1950 after being mortally wounded by the dinosaur.
In the present, survivors of the team run through the streets of LA, barely evading the rampaging prehistoric beast. Meanwhile in 1950, the wounded Dr. Reno arrives and meets up with the younger version of himself. The old Reno teaches the young Dr. Reno (Dustin Harnish) how to correctly use the time-travel technology before dying. Young Dr. Reno assembles a strike team of Korean War-era troops and leads them through the portal to 2008, where they attempt to rescue the remainder of the original team from the rampaging dinosaur.
Young Reno then has to find a means of luring the creature back into the time machine and returning it to its own time, before it takes the life of his brother from him once more.
