Using prehistoric DNA, a wealthy entrepreneur clones dinosaurs for use as theme park attractions on a remote island. But before the park can open for business, a team of specialists must survey the park to ensure its safety. The dinosaurs are seemingly contained in holding paddocks, but when a park employee disables the security system in an attempt to steal some of the cloned embryos, the dinosaurs are released to wreak havoc on the park and its visitors, including an enormous Tyrannosaurus rex and a pack of deadly Velociraptors. As the group struggles to escape the island, these vicious carnivores give chase, leading to a stunning climatic battle.
