The Jurassic Park chronology is largely straightforward, with the films' release order mirroring their chronological order. Only the short films and Netflix series require additional guidance. This film adapts Michael Crichton's novel, introducing the series' core concept: cloned dinosaurs populate a theme park on Isla Nublar, a fictitious island. Paleontologist Alan Grant, paleobotanist Ellie Sattler, and mathematician Ian Malcolm arrive to assess the park's safety, joined by John Hammond's grandchildren, Lex and Tim Murphy. A storm and sabotage disable the park's security, unleashing the dinosaurs and turning the tour into a desperate fight for survival against velociraptors and a Tyrannosaurus rex.
