Plot
While transporting Velociraptors to their new, stronger enclosure, Velociraptor attacks one of the workers and fatally wound him. Upon learning of this, his upset family threatens to sue against InGen. Investors of the company decide to stop financing the park, since they believe it is not safe enough. To preserve his park, director John Hammond decides to invite independent scientists to the park to confirm its safety. By his helicopter, he arrives at the excavations of Dr. Alan Grant, who does not tolerate children, and Dr. Ellie Satler. He asks them to come to the park, however at first they refuse, arguing that they have a lot of work to do. Although, when John Hammond says he will fund them, they readily agree. Much later, they, as well as the mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm, arrive to the Jurassic Park. At first they can't believe their eyes when they see living dinosaurs. Two of the first dinosaurs they noticed were a Brachiosaurus and a Parasaurolophus. Meanwhile, Dr. Lewis Dodgson from Bionic, a rival of InGen, is negotiating with computer scientist Dennis Nedry, who agrees to steal dinosaur embryos for $1.5 million. Back to the park, the group travels through the park in jeeps, and reaches the visitor center. In it, they learn that dinosaurs were cloned using DNA stored in ancient mosquitoes that got into amber. The scientists of InGen used the DNA of only female dinosaurs to prevent excessive numbers of dinosaurs. After that, the group goes to the laboratory, where they witness the birth of Velociraptor. John Hammond says he has witnessed the birth of every dinosaur in the park.

After that, Hammond takes the scientists to the enclosure of Velociraptors, since Alan fears that dangerous predators will escape. There, they notice Robert Muldoon who works in the park as a warden. He tells the group that there are only 3 Velociraptors in the park, because their leader, the Big One, killed two. They decide to feed the Raptors, and the group witnesses bloodthirsty predators eating it. After that, they return for lunch. During it, the three scientists begin to make remarks about the place. Ian worries about whether cloning dinosaurs is ethical, and Ellie wonders about its consequences. Although Alan thinks about it too, he only warns Hammond and asks for caution. The park director doesn't like that the only person who appreciates his work is lawyer Donald, who just wants money.

A little later, John's grandchildren, Tim and Lex, arrive at the park. Together with scientists, they go on a review through the park. Alan doesn't like that two children bothering him with their questions. At first they decide to visit the Dilophosaurus aviary, but since she does not appear, they go to the enclosure of a Tyrannosaurus. A goat is launched into the enclosure, but the powerful predator still does not appear. They later find a sick Triceratops, and Ellie stays with Dr. Harry Harding for her examination. Other members of the group head back to the Visitor Center.

A large monsoon is approaching the island, and almost all workers leave it. Only John, Robert, and systems engineer Ray Arnold remain. When the storm approaches the island, Dennis decides to start implementing his plan. He secretly deactivates the security system and leaves in a Jeep. Meanwhile, Tyrannosaurus breaks the fence, eats a goat and tries to attack the main characters. Coward Donald escapes, and the children left alone with Alan Grant. He lures the royal lizard with light, but Ian accidentally lures the dinosaur to the toilet where Donald is. The monster eats Donald and breaks Ian's leg. Alan and Lex try to escape from Tyrannosaurus, and Tim falls in a car on a tree in Tyrannosaurus ' enclosure.

Alan and Lex try to reach the tree at the bottom of Tyrannosaurus ' habitat. Reaching it, Alan climbs a tree and rescues Tim, but the car almost falls on the group. Soon Ellie and Robert arrive at the place of an accident. Although they think that only Ian survived at first, they see traces of Alan and the children. Immediately after that, T-Rex returns. The two, together with Ian, whom they met, escape in a Jeep. At the same time, Dennis accidentally gets stuck, and meets a poisonous Dilophosaurus, who kills him. The embryos that Nedry stole lost.

Alan and the children sleep on the tree. In the morning, they try to find a safe place, and notice the eggs from which the dinosaurs hatched. Alan begins to think that dinosaurs began to change their sex, since they have a frog's DNA.

Meanwhile, all of Ray's attempts to turn on the power in the park remain in vain. He decides to reboot the system. Ray does not return, and Ellie and Robert realize that the Velociraptors have fled. Robert tries to find the raptors, and Ellie decides to go and turn on the power. Meanwhile, Tim touches the fence and is electrocuted, causing him to lose consciousness. Ellie finds Ray's arm, and the raptors start chasing her. She notices Alan, and they arrive at the emergency bunker, where Ian and John Hammond are. At the same time, the raptors outsmart Robert and the Big One kills him. After that, the Big One notices Lex and Tim, and begins to pursue them along with other raptors. The children run into the kitchen, but the raptors find them. With the help of tricks, Tim closes one of them in the freezer, and Lex injures the Big One. After that, they, together with Alan and Ellie, try to reboot the system again. Two scientists try to detain the dinosaurs for a while, and Lex manages to call John.

One of the Velociraptors climbs into the room through the window, but Alan shoots her. They run from the dinosaurs to the visitor center. Monsters are still chasing them, and the Big One attacks the group at a museum of skeletons. Unexpectedly, a T-Rex appears and eats two raptors. John and Ian in a Jeep meet them, and together they ride to the helicopter. Now John himself agrees to the danger of the park and with regret he is forced to close it. His grandchildren fall asleep hugging Alan.
