Story Synopsis:
Tremors 2—Aftershocks takes us back to the dusty, no-man’s land of Perfection, Nevada—still home to Graboid-busting hero Earl Bassett (Ward). Unfortunately, everybody except Earl seems to have profited from his earlier adventure. When a representative of the Mexican government offers to pay fifty thousand dollars a head to hunt the Graboids who are now plaguing an oil field in Sonora, Earl and a new partner (Gartin) head off to Mexico, where they meet up with an attractive geologist (Shaver).
