Summary: On a remote island off Costa Rica, wealthy entrepreneur John Hammond has created Jurassic Park. It features real live dinosaurs, cloned by using actual dinosaur DNA found in amber. Prompted by his lawyer, Hammond recruits paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant, paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler, and eccentric mathematician Ian Malcolm to take a guided tour of the park, evaluate it, and give it a seal of approval. Hammond's visiting grandchildren, Tim and Lex, are along for the ride, which is interrupted by a tropical storm and industrial sabotage.
