==Plot== <!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries for feature films should be set between 400 to 700 words. --> [[Industrialist]] John Hammond has created Jurassic Park, a [[Animal theme park|theme park]] of [[De-extinction|de-extincted]] [[dinosaurs]], on the tropical island Isla Nublar, off of the coast of [[Costa Rica]]. After a ''[[Velociraptor]]'' kills a dinosaur handler, the park's investors, represented by lawyer Donald Gennaro, demand a safety certification, or else they'll pull their funding. Gennaro invites [[Chaos theory|chaotician]] [[Ian Malcolm (character)|Ian Malcolm]], and Hammond invites [[paleontologist]] [[Alan Grant (character)|Alan Grant]] and [[paleobotanist]] [[Ellie Sattler]]. Upon arrival, the group is shocked to see living ''[[Brachiosaurus]]'' and ''[[Parasaurolophus]]''. At the park's visitor center, the group learns that the cloning was accomplished by extracting [[Ancient DNA|dinosaur DNA]] from prehistoric [[mosquito]]es preserved in [[amber]]. DNA from [[frog]]s, among other animals, was used to [[Hybridisation (biology)|fill in gaps]] in the dinosaurs' [[genome]]. To prevent breeding, the dinosaurs were made female by direct [[chromosome]] manipulation. The group witnesses the hatching of a baby ''Velociraptor'' and visits the raptor enclosure. During lunch, the group debates the [[ethics of cloning]] and the park's creation. Malcolm warns of the implications of [[genetic engineering]] while Grant and Sattler express uncertainty over the ability of humans and dinosaurs to coexist. Hammond's grandchildren, Lex and Tim, join the others for a park tour while Hammond oversees them from the control room. Most of the dinosaurs fail to appear, and the group encounters a sick ''[[Triceratops]]''. The tour is cut short as a [[Tropical cyclone|tropical storm]] approaches. The park employees leave for the mainland on a boat while the visitors return to their railed-electric tour vehicles, except Sattler, who stays behind with the park's veterinarian, Dr. Harding, to study the sick ''Triceratops''. Jurassic Park's disgruntled lead computer programmer, Dennis Nedry, was previously bribed by Lewis Dodgson, a man working for Hammond's corporate rival, to steal frozen dinosaur [[embryo]]s. He deactivates the park's security system to access the embryo storage room and stores them inside a container disguised as a [[Barbasol]] [[shaving cream]] can. Nedry's sabotage cuts power to the tour vehicles, stranding them as they near the park's ''[[Tyrannosaurus|Tyrannosaurus rex]]'' paddock. Most of the park's electric fences have also been deactivated, allowing the ''[[Rexy|Tyrannosaurus]]'' to escape and attack the group. After the ''Tyrannosaurus'' overturns a tour vehicle, it injures Malcolm and devours Gennaro while Grant, Lex, and Tim escape. On his way to deliver the embryos to the island's docks, Nedry gets lost in the rain, crashes his [[Jeep Wrangler]], and is killed by a venom-spitting ''[[Dilophosaurus]]''. Sattler helps the game warden Robert Muldoon search for survivors; they find Malcolm just before the ''Tyrannosaurus'' returns and chases them away. Grant, Tim, and Lex take shelter in a treetop and encounter a ''Brachiosaurus'' herd. They discover the broken shells of dinosaur eggs the following morning. Grant concludes that the dinosaurs are breeding, which is possible because of [[amphibian]] DNA—animals like [[common reed frog|West African frogs]] can [[Sequential hermaphroditism|change their sex]] in a single-sex environment, enabling the dinosaurs to breed, proving Malcolm's earlier statement that "Life finds a way". The three later encounter a ''[[Gallimimus]]'' stampede being hunted by the ''Tyrannosaurus.'' Unable to decipher Nedry's code to reactivate the security system, Hammond and chief engineer Ray Arnold decide to reboot the park's systems. The group shuts down the park's power grid and retreats to an emergency bunker while Arnold heads to a maintenance shed to complete the rebooting process. When Arnold fails to return, Sattler and Muldoon head over, discovering the shutdown has released the ''Velociraptors''. Muldoon distracts two of them while Sattler turns the power back on before being attacked by a third and discovering Arnold's severed arm. While she escapes, Muldoon is caught off-guard and killed by a ''Velociraptor''. Grant, Tim, and Lex reach the visitor center. Grant heads out to look for Sattler, leaving Tim and Lex inside. The raptors appear and pursue Tim and Lex throughout a kitchen, but they escape, locking one in a freezer before joining Grant and Sattler. The group reaches the control room, and Lex restores the park's systems, allowing them to contact Hammond, who calls for help. As they try to leave, they are cornered by the two remaining raptors, but the ''Tyrannosaurus'' appears and kills them while the group flees. Hammond arrives in a jeep with Malcolm, and they board a helicopter to leave the island. Grant and Hammond agree not to endorse the park.
