Una troupe cinematografica parte su una chiatta fluviale per realizzare un documentario all'interno della foresta brasiliana. Ne fanno parte l'antropologo Steve Cale, la regista Terri, l'operatore alla macchina Danny, il tecnico del suono Gary, la produttrice Denise e l'attore Warren. L'obiettivo è la ricerca del leggendario popolo degli Indios Shirishama, e a guidare l'imbarcazione c'è il locale Mateo. Il viaggio comincia e, dopo qualche tempo, il gruppo incontra un uomo, Paul, bloccato a bordo di una barca senza equipaggio. Viene fatto salire e, informato dello scopo del viaggio, si offre di fare da guida, dicendosi molto esperto dei luoghi. In realtà Paul ha un motivo personale per ridiscendere il fiume: trovare un letale anaconda assassino lungo dodici metri, un predatore talmente mortale da essere diventato a sua volta leggendario.
