Monster Trucks (2016)
Two different worlds. One monster team.
Tripp is a high school senior with a knack for building trucks who makes an incredible discovery - a gas-guzzling creature named Creech. To protect his mischievous new friend, Tripp hides Creech under the hood of his latest creation, turning it into a real-life super-powered Monster Truck. Together, this unlikely duo with a shared taste for speed team up on a wild and unforgettable journey to reunite Creech with his family.
In Monster Trucks, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “monster‑truck frontier”. The story fights on E8/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing environment, exploitation, friendship, technology.
