The film adaptation of Crichton's novel establishes the series' premise: cloned dinosaurs populate a theme park (Isla Nublar) owned by a reckless entrepreneur (Richard Attenborough). Paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill), paleobotanist Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) assess the park's safety alongside John Hammond's grandchildren.
