Isla Nublar today
It has been three years since theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World was destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Isla Nublar now sits abandoned by humans while the surviving dinosaurs fend for themselves in the jungles.
When the island’s dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Pratt) and Claire (Howard) mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinctionlevel event. Owen is driven to find Blue, his lead raptor who is still missing in the wild, and Claire has grown respect for these creatures, which she now makes her mission.
Arriving on the unstable island as lava begins raining down, their expedition uncovers a conspiracy that could revert the entire planet to a perilous order not seen since prehistoric times. With all of the wonder, adventure and thrills synonymous with one of the most popular and successful franchises in cinema history, this all- new motionpicture event sees the return of favorite characters and dinosaurs— along with new breeds more awe- inspiring and terrifying than ever before.
