Movie Synopsis
When Jurassic Park was built on Nublar Island, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough Richard Attenborough) used the nearby Sona Island as a dinosaur manufacturing factory. After the fall of Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs on Sona survived for 4 years in complete isolation and without the necessary synthetic elements. Curious about this, Hammond found Dr. Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum) again and invited him to visit the island. The experience four years ago left Macomb with lingering fears. He categorically rejected Hammond’s proposal, but when he learned that his girlfriend Sarah (Julianne Moore) had gone to the island, he had to follow the expedition to set off.
On the island of Sona, another group of savage expeditions has arrived early, and they capture dinosaurs to sell to foreign countries. The desire for profit made these greedy people completely disregard the danger, and even took the idea of Tyrannosaurus. Sona Island immediately turned into a horrible massacre hell…
