The film begins with a mother Iguanodon watching over her nest. A young Parasaurolophus wanders up and looks into the nest, but the mother shoos it away. When the young reptile disturbs a large Carnotaurus hiding in a nearby forest, the whole herd of dinosaurs is sent running away from it, Gallimimus, Edmontosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus and such. One Pachyrhinosaurus is unable to escape and is devoured. During the chaos, the Carnotaurus tramples most of the Iguanodon's eggs, leaving only one still intact. The surviving egg, stolen by a number of other dinosaurs, eventually ends up on Lemur Island, an island inhabited by, as its name suggests, lemurs. A baby Iguanodon soon emerges from the egg, to the fear of some and the delight of others among the tiny mammals. The lemurs are initially cautious about the dinosaur, but they nonetheless raise him, giving him the name Aladar. Not long after Aladar has grown up, a tremendous meteoroid falls from the sky during a Lemur mating ceremony, landing in the ocean. The resulting fiery shockwave destroys Lemur Island. Aladar escapes with Plio, his mother-figure and mother of Aladar's adoptive siblings, Zini and Suri, and his grandfather-figure, Yar, by jumping into the ocean. They wash up on shore to find that they are supposedly the last of the lemurs.
Aladar and the four surviving lemurs go in search of a new home and eventually wander into a desert. They are soon attacked by a pack of Velociraptor but are rescued when a multispecies herd of dinosaurs crosses their path, scaring the predators away. The herd is heading for their traditional breeding grounds, believed to have been spared from the meteoroid's blast. Aladar joins the herd, despite Yar's protests, and befriends the elderly Eema (Styracosaurus), Baylene (An elderly Brachiosaurus), and their pet Edmontonia Url. Kron, the leader of the herd, is a merciless Iguanodon with a strong belief in a Social Darwinism-like philosophy, wherein only those who can survive on their own power deserve to live. These beliefs are shared by his henchman Bruton. This causes strong tension between Kron and the more compassionate Aladar, which is only complicated by Aladar's instant attraction to Neera, Kron's sister – the first female of his kind that he has ever seen. Aladar and Neera's relationship is initially strained because of Zini's honest but ineffective efforts to help Aladar win her affections.

Eema, growing weak of thirst, enters the empty lake bed. Aladar and Baylene follow her, and Aladar notices something is out of place about Baylene's footsteps. After digging, they find water trapped beneath the sand. He recalls the herd with a loud cry, and Kron is the first one to arrive, attacking all who try and drink the water before him. Nevertheless, Neera becomes infatuated with Aladar and the two begin to develop a positive bond when he teaches two young orphaned Iguanodons that Neera looks after, and later, Neera, how to get water. Bruton, who had temporarily left the herd along with a scout to search for water in the dry lake bed, returns alone mortally wounded [he had been wandering with another Iguanodon,both attacked by a Carnotaur.] He warns Kron that there are in fact two Carnotaurs pursuing the herd, (the predators having been driven from their normal hunting grounds by the meteor) and Aladar, the lemurs, and the elderly dinosaurs get left behind as the herd picks up the pace. Bruton is also left behind, unable to keep up due to his injuries. Aladar invites him to stay with the misfits and himself. Bruton at first is reluctant to embrace this new idea and philosophy of helping others, but his loyalty is proved when the predators attack the stragglers inside of a cave. Bruton sacrifices himself to save the others, collapsing the cave onto the Carnotaurs, killing one and severely wounding the other.
The group is trapped in the cave, and Aladar begins to mold into Kron's philosophy of survival-of-the-fittest after Bruton's death and his repeated failures, only to have his friends and family to rescue him from this dark outlook, telling him that Aladar's philosophy for helping others is the reason that they are all alive. With this in mind, the group escapes the cave and eventually finds its own way to the nesting grounds. Once there, they see that the original route to the breeding grounds has been blocked by a landslide, leaving the herd without a way of entry. And even if the herd can manage to climb up the wall of rocks, they would face a sheer drop on the other end and none or only a few will survive. Aladar leaves to tell Kron of the alternate route. On his way, he discovers that the remaining Carnotaurus is close on the trail of the herd. Aladar discovers that the herd is following the leader, Kron, in a perilous attempt to scale the wall into the breeding grounds. Aladar tells them of his discovery, but Kron refuses to listen. Instead he attacks Aladar, furious that his authority has been questioned and challenged. The two fight, until Kron knocks Aladar into a nearby rock. As Kron goes in for the kill, he is knocked down by Neera, who is tired of his cruel beliefs. Neera helps Aladar to his feet. Together Aladar and Neera led the herd away from Kron and towards the exit of the canyon. Stubborn as ever, Kron attempts to climb the wall alone, refusing to submit to the leadership of another.
Suddenly, the surviving Carnotaurus comes round the rocks and corners the herd. The hungry carnivore charges, but is discouraged from a meal by the unity of the group (led by Aladar). Driven back into a corner, once the herd passes, it then spots Kron climbing the wall, and moves to attack him. Neera and Aladar follow to save Kron. Upon reaching the top of the rocks, Kron realises he is now cornered by the predator. Kron charges into battle; however, he is thrown hard against the rocks. The Carnotaur closes in to kill Kron, just as Neera and Aladar come to the cliffside. In the fight that follows, the Carnotaur gains the upper hand, but Aladar knocks it to the edge of a cliff: the ground gives way under the theropod's feet and the Carnotaurus plummets down the cliff. The Carnotaurus despartly tries to drag Aladar with it, but instead leaves Aladar with a bite on his back, leaving the Carnotaur to fall to its death. Neera goes to Kron but it is too late. Kron is dead. Aladar takes over as the new leader and leads the herd through the cave into the nesting grounds, where the lemurs also find that they are not the last of their kind, and that there are lemurs in the nesting grounds. Zini finally gets a mate, Suri gets new friends and the lemurs have a new tree like the old one. This one has a lake for the lemurs to drink and swim. The movie ends with one of Neera and Aladar's eggs hatching, showing the dinosaurs' peaceful life in the valley. As the film closes, Plio's voice can be heard above the jubilant bellows of nesting mothers, saying, "None of us really know what changes, big or small, lie ahead. One thing is certain; our journey is not over. We can only hope that, in some small way, our time here will be remembered." This seems to be a comment on the idea that, while dinosaurs are extinct, they will never be forgotten, or on the nature of life itself.
