The Claw

In a future ravaged by ecological collapse, a rogue scientist develops a bio-engineered weapon capable of controlling Earth's apex predators. When a shadowy corporation seeks to weaponize his creation for global domination, he must team up with a grizzled ex-soldier and a brilliant botanist to stop his own invention before it unleashes an unprecedented era of destruction.
