Synopsis: Reports that a lizard-like reptile is
attacking infants and infirm people in coastal towns on the island of
Costa Rica are attributed by the natives to the "hubia, " or "raptor,"
are ignored by the authorities. That is, until an American doctor
working in Costa Rica treats two patients who have both been attacked
by the "hubia." Their test results, which indicate that they have been
poisoned by a mysterious venom, are passed down to Dr. Alan Grant, a
renowned paleontologist who is working on a dinosaur dig in Montana
with his associate, Ellie Sattler.
Grant has just uncovered another fossilized velociraptor skeleton in
the Montana Badlands, and is interrupted by a phone call from John
Hammond, his wealthy sponsor for the dig. Hammond insists that Grant
and his assistant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, fly down to Hammond's private
island near costa Rica for a consultation. They are to be joined by
Gennaro, a lawyer for InGen; Ian Malcolm, a mathematician specializing
in the field of chaos theory; Tim and Alexis (Lex), Hammond's young
grandchildren;
A tour of Hammond's crowing achievement, the as-yet-unopened theme
park, Jurassic Park, proves deadly as the security systems go off-line
and the untamed dinosaurs overtake the island, killing anyone and
anything in their path. The unwelcomed human visitors are separated and
each group must find a way back to safety -- and stop the rampaging
dinosaurs.
