Terra Nova is an American science fiction drama television series created by Kelly Marcel and Craig Silverstein for Fox, who serves as an executive producer along side Steven Spielberg, Peter Chernin, Brannon Braga, David Fury and Jon Cassar. The series begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth is threatened with extinction. In an effort to save the human race, scientists develop a time machine allowing people to travel 85 million years back in time to prehistoric Earth in an alternative timeline. The Shannon family, father Jim (Jason O'Mara), his wife Elisabeth (Shelley Conn), and their three children Josh (Landon Liboiron), Maddy (Naomi Scott) and Zoe (Alana Mansour) join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first human colony on the other side of the temporal doorway.

In 2149, policeman Jim Shannon is sentenced to prison for six years for assaulting another officer after it was discovered that he and his wife, Elisabeth, had a third child in a society where families are limited to two children. Two years into his sentence, Elisabeth, a doctor, is recruited to travel 85 million years back in time to Terra Nova, a prehistoric colony that is attempting to reinvent the past for a better future, albeit with the necessity to co-exist with dinosaurs. With Elisabeth only being permitted to take their two eldest children, teenagers Josh and Maddy, with her, she helps Jim escape from prison so that he and their five-year-old daughter, Zoe, can accompany the rest of the family back in time. Once in Terra Nova, Jim meets Commander Nathaniel Taylor, who, displeased by Jim's arrival, assigns him to the agriculture group.

The enemy group called the Sixers is introduced. The Sixers were among the early colonists, but for reasons unknown, they oppose Terra Nova's existence, and broke away. When a captured Sixer attempts to assassinate Commander Taylor, Jim saves him, resulting in Taylor reassigning Jim to his security team. Josh meets a girl named Skye and her friends, and they sneak out of the Terra Nova compound into the forest. They discover what looks like some type of mathematical equations carved into rocks next to a waterfall. As night falls, they prepare to return to the compound, only to discover that their vehicle's power cells have been stolen by Sixers. They are attacked by a pack of Slashers (a name given to the fictional Acceraptors) and have to be rescued by the Terra Nova security team.
