Jason Gedrick and a small group of Marines are stranded in the remote Afghan desert. But it ain’t the Taliban that’s worrying them, it’s these giant refugees from Tremors. In fact the big worms prove to be an ally of sorts by doing better against the Taliban than themselves but battling these enemies is something not covered in their training. An elite squadron of soldiers is taken hostage by an Afghani Taliban cell, but before the terrorizers can turn our heroes into YouTube sensations a giant worm conveniently kills all of the insurgents, leaving our questionably elite soldiers to find their own way out of the barren Afghanistan countryside before being devoured by the giant worm(s).
