Storyline
John Hammond, the founder and CEO of bioengineering company InGen, has created a theme park called Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar, a tropical island populated with cloned dinosaurs. After a park worker is killed by a Velociraptor, the park's investors, represented by lawyer Donald Gennaro, demand that experts visit the park and certify it as safe. Gennaro invites the mathematician Ian Malcolm while Hammond invites paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant and paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler. Upon arrival, the group is stunned to see three Brachiosaurus and a herd of Parasaurolophus in the distance.
At the visitor center, the group learns that the cloning was accomplished by extracting the DNA of dinosaurs from mosquitoes that had been preserved in amber. DNA from frogs was used to fill in gaps in the dinosaur genomes, and to prevent breeding the dinosaurs were all made female. Malcolm scoffs at the idea of controlling breeding, declaring it impossible. The crew witness the birth of a baby Velociraptor and visit the high-tech raptor fence. Gennaro becomes excited about the money the park could make, while Grant, Sattler, and Malcolm have reservations about the idea of bringing dinosaurs back to life.
The group is then joined by Hammond's grandchildren, Lex and Tim Murphy for a tour of the park, while Hammond oversees the trip from the park's control room. Grant is less than thrilled about Lex and Tim's company because he does not like kids. The tour does not go as planned, with the dinosaurs failing to appear and a Triceratops becoming ill. As a tropical storm approaches Isla Nublar, the tour is cut short. Most of the park employees depart on a boat for the mainland and the visitors return to the electric tour vehicles, except Ellie, who stays with the park's veterinarian to study the Triceratops....
