Synopsis

A research organisation has worked out how to clone dinosaurs from long dormant DNA - and the boss has set up a "zoo" on a remote island to display the living results. He invites a group of scientific experts and a lawyer down to this out-of-the-way location to assure them of the project's safety. However, events conspire to set the beasts free - and soon they're running amok in director Steven Spielberg's eye-popping creature-feature which is, at times, truly terrifying - largely down to a star turn from the magnificent Tyrannosaurus Rex!
