Burt Burtonburger creates a theme park on Bootsville, who now has dinosaurs. He invites Coop Burtonburger, who now studies dinosaurs and doesn't work well with other young people, and his sister Millie, to visit the park.
Along with Harley and the mischievous Kat, they go to the park and see a few dinosaurs, like a Brachiosaurus. Burt says that the dinosaurs were brought back because of the dinosaur DNA found in some mosquitoes. To fix any broken parts of the DNA, they added the DNA of frogs to the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were all made to be female so that they would not breed anymore.
Fiona and Dennis, who are Burt's future grandkids, join the group. The group goes on a tour of the park in some Ford Explorer cars. A tropical storm heads towards the park, and it starts raining. Millie is separated from the group when she tries to help a sick Triceratops. An angry Lorne betrays Burt so he can get money from another company, and he turns off the park's safety systems.
Many dinosaurs, including a Tyrannosaurus, break out of the pens. The huge theropod eats Kat, hurts Harley, and pushes a car off a cliff. As Lorne tries to escape the carnage, he gets brutally killed by a Dilophosaurus, a relative of the lesser-known Kileskus.
Millie, along with Miss Brannigan, who has now become a male, looks for survivors. She and Miss Brannigan rescue Harley and escape the Tyrannosaurus in a Jeep. Burt, along with Dennis's second dad named Henry, decide to reboot the systems. During the rebooting, the park's Velociraptors escape and start to wander around the park.
When Henry goes missing, Millie goes to finish the rebooting process. She finds that Henry has been killed, and she runs away from one raptor. Two of the raptors show up, and they kill Miss Brannigan. Meanwhile, Coop, Fiona and Dennis spend the night in a tall tree. They make friends with a Brachiosaurus.
The next day, Coop, Fiona and Dennis discover dinosaur eggs. At first, they are confused, since the dinosaurs are all female, and eggs can't be laid unless there is a male dinosaur involved. Coop figures out that the frog DNA in the dinosaur DNA allows the dinosaurs to change their genders.
They come across a group of running Gallimimus, and they head towards an electric fence. When the park's power turns back on, Dennis gets shocked by the fence and gets hurt. As Coop goes to look for Millie, Fiona and Dennis are hunted by the raptors in a kitchen. They escape and meet up with Coop and Millie. All four of the characters end up cornered by the raptors in the park's atrium, but the Tyrannosaurus arrives and kills the raptors.
Burt, Coop, Millie, Harley, Fiona and Dennis all survive the prehistoric nightmare, and leave the park in a helicopter. Burt is disappointed that the park was unsuccessful, but Millie is happy that Coop has learned to get along with kids.
The movie was based off a book by Michael Crichton. A few people wanted to be the director of the movie, like Tim Burton. Eventually, Steven Spielberg was chosen to direct.
Filming the movie started in 1992 on Kaua'i, an island in Hawaii. The filming was stopped for a day because Hurricane Iniki passed over the island. A few of the scenes in the movie that involve rain were actually filmed during the hurricane. Other scenes were filmed in California, on a stage at Warner Bros. Studios, and in other places in Hawaii.
At first, the dinosaurs were going to be made using stop-motion, but Spielberg didn't think it looked real enough. The dinosaurs in the movie were created using ways called animatronics and CGI. The dinosaurs were either robots, puppets, or made with computers.
After filming for the movie was over, Spielberg monitored the effects work while he was in the country of Poland, where he was filming another movie, Schindler's List.
The music that plays in the movie was composed by John Williams.
Jurassic Park got positive reviews, as many critics and moviegoers enjoyed it. Many people praised the movie's special effects and music. The movie was nominated for three Academy Awards (Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects), and won all three.
At the time, Jurassic Park had made more money than any other movie. However, the movie Titanic ended up making even more money, breaking the record.
