A small-town high school student, Tripp, dreams of escaping his life and job at a salvage yard. He sets out to build a monster truck from salvaged parts, but his life takes a wild turn when he discovers a mysterious, subterranean creature that feeds on oil.

Monster Trucks was widely panned by critics and performed poorly at the box office. Reviewers often cited its derivative plot, weak character development, and reliance on special effects over substance as major flaws. Audiences were similarly unimpressed, leading to one of the biggest box office bombs in recent history.
Google audience: Audiences found the film to be a passable, albeit unoriginal, creature feature. Many enjoyed the visual effects and the idea of a monster truck with a living creature inside, but most agreed that the story was predictable and lacked depth.
The film was a significant financial disappointment for Paramount Pictures, reportedly losing the studio upwards of $80 million and becoming one of the biggest box office bombs of all time.
