Dennis and his friends dig up the front yard of the Mitchell house in order to help put in a sprinkler system his father wanted. During the dig, he finds a dinosaur bone. Henry calls in an old friend, a paleontologist named Barclay Schuyler III (nicknamed "Bones"), to see if the bone is authentic. It is and things go downhill from there.

!!This movie contains examples of the following tropes:
* AllTakeAndNoGive: Bones really takes advantage of Henry and Alice's hospitality during his stay.
* BrickJoke: Henry Mitchell talks early in the movie about putting a sprinkler system in their front yard. At the end of the movie during a luau for the Wilsons, Dennis reveals he and his friends set up sprinklers; they set them off, soaking everyone there.
* CannotKeepASecret: Dennis is asked by Bones to keep it a secret that he buried dinosaur bones in the Wilsons' garden. Dennis reveals this at a big press conference, thus bringing the dig and planned Dino Land park to an end.
* CommunityThreateningConstruction: The planned amusement park, Dino Land, becomes this as the entire neighborhood the Mitchells and their neighbors live in would be torn down.
* ColonCancer: The title is better known under its "Dinosaur Hunter" subtitle for home video, possibly to distinguish it from the 1993 movie.
* EvilGenius: Downplayed with Bones. While he is not exactly evil, he is quite selfish during his stay with the Mitchells and even plants dinosaur bones in the Wilsons' garden to make sure he can profit from the dig.
