In Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend (1985), Susan (Sean Young, Blade Runner) and George (William Katt, The Greatest American Hero) are husband and wife scientists studying dinosaur fossils in Africa. On the hunt for a rare fossil, the pair discovers a family of brontosauruses still alive in the wilderness. The infant bronto, nicknamed “Baby” by Susan, gets separated from its parents and bonds with Susan and George. As they try to reunite Baby with mommy and daddy, our heroes are tracked by a sinister big game hunter (Patrick McGoohan, The Prisoner).
William Katt and Sean Young do what they can with the material. She’s the earnest, heartfelt one, and he’s the headstrong, jumps-into-action one. The two are starting to grow apart, and they rediscover their love for one another by taking care of Baby. His plot doesn’t quite make sense, though. He only wants one of the three dinosaurs alive, with no hesitation about viciously slaughtering the other two, because, we’re told, a one-of-a-kind specimen is worth more.
