Four years after Jurassic Park's genetically bred dinosaurs ran amok, multimillionaire John Hammond shocks chaos theorist Ian Malcolm by revealing that he has been breeding more beasties at a secret location. Malcolm, his paleontologist ladylove and a wildlife videographer join an expedition to document the lethal lizards' natural behavior in this action-packed thriller.
Four years after the Jurassic Park disaster, entrepreneur John Hammond sends a team of paleontologists to Isla Sorna, the second island where dinosaurs were bred, to study them in their natural habitat. However, a rival organization, BioSyn, also has its sights set on the creatures, leading to a dangerous confrontation. The team must survive the island's volatile ecosystem and the terrifying dinosaurs, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a pack of Compsognathus, while also battling the greed of those who wish to exploit these prehistoric beings.
