In a world where prehistoric creatures roam freely, a group of survivors must confront a global conspiracy involving genetic engineering.
The story
Four years after the events of Fallen Kingdom, dinosaurs and other de-extinct prehistoric animals now live alongside humans across the globe. Amidst global efforts to control these creatures, the corporation Biosyn Genetics establishes a dinosaur preserve in Italy's Dolomites. Owen Grady and Claire Dearing work to protect a young girl, Maisie Lockwood, while experts Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm attempt to uncover a conspiracy involving genetically engineered locusts and the exploitation of prehistoric life. As the world faces an ecological crisis, these two groups must navigate a landscape where the line between the past and present has been permanently blurred.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
Four years after the Lockwood Estate incident, dinosaurs roam the Earth, breeding exponentially. Biosyn Genetics establishes a preserve in the Dolomites, while Claire Dearing and Owen Grady secretly raise Maisie Lockwood, who possesses a unique genetic makeup. When Maisy is kidnapped by mercenaries, Owen and Claire team up with others to find her. Simultaneously, Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant discover that Biosyn has engineered a swarm of giant locusts using prehistoric DNA to control the world's food supply. The narrative converges as the groups join forces to infiltrate a dinosaur black market in Malta and eventually the Biosyn facility. Inside, they face a Giganotosaurus and a desperate struggle against Dr. Lewis Dodgson's plans. After a massive fire breaks out at the facility, the group eventually reunites and works together to stop the locusts. The film ends with the characters' lives stabilized, the locusts eradicated by a specific pathogen, and the official declaration of Biosyn Valley as an international dinosaur sanctuary.
