What corporation has gained exclusive rights to dinosaur research?

Plot Summary


In the aftermath of the catastrophic events at Lockwood Estate and the volcanic eruption on Isla Nublar, the world is now grappling with the unintended consequences of de-extinct dinosaurs roaming free. Four years have passed since the initial chaos, and it’s become apparent that these prehistoric creatures are not only a menace to human life but also wreaking havoc on the environment. Amidst global efforts to contain the invasive species, Biosyn Genetics has established a dinosaur preserve in Italy’s Dolomite Mountains, where they’re conducting groundbreaking Genomics research with the supposed aim of unlocking innovative pharmacological and agronomic applications. As a result, Biosyn has been granted exclusive rights over dinosaur research, leading to an unprecedented surge in their profits.

Meanwhile, Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), the former Jurassic World park manager and founder of the Dinosaur Protection Group, along with her colleagues Zia Rodriguez (Daniella Pineda) and Franklin Webb (Justice Smith), continue to investigate illegal dinosaur breeding sites. Additionally, Claire’s partner Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), an ethologist and former Jurassic World employee responsible for training Velociraptors, has taken up a new role as a wrangler, helping to relocate stray dinosaurs. The trio also secretly cares for 14-year-old Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon), the bio-genetic granddaughter of Benjamin Lockwood, at their secluded cabin in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. As they strive to protect Maisie from genetic research corporations seeking to exploit her DNA, the group is oblivious to the impending danger lurking on the horizon.

Owen’s trained Velociraptor, Blue, unexpectedly returns with a hatchling, which Maisie has named Beta. Growing restless living in seclusion, Maisie decides to sneak away from Claire and Owen, unaware that Biosyn operatives have discovered her location. They abduct her and capture Beta, sending the trio into crisis mode.

In a separate development, giant locusts thought to be extinct for millions of years have mysteriously reappeared in massive swarms, devastating crops worldwide. Paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), one of the original consultants who visited John Hammond’s Jurassic Park, has been observing that corporate-grown crops using Biosyn seeds are left untouched by the locusts. This discovery fuels her suspicion that Biosyn is somehow responsible for the insects’ resurgence. Believing the locust may have originated in the Cretaceous period, Ellie reaches out to former partner and paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) for assistance. She hopes to enlist his expertise in infiltrating the Biosyn facility to obtain a DNA sample and prove her theory.

As Claire and Owen’s desperation reaches a fever pitch, they turn to Franklin for assistance. The seasoned operative, now part of the CIA’s elite dinosaur unit, provides crucial intel: Maisie and Beta are likely being held in Malta. With their hearts racing, they infiltrate the city’s underbelly, tracking down Rainn Delacourt, the notorious kidnapper rumored to be linked to the dastardly duo. However, their raid is met with a counterattack as Delacourt unleashes a horde of predator dinosaurs, sending the city into chaos. The kidnapper meets his demise at the mercy of his own beasts, revealing that he was merely a pawn in Soyona Santos’ sinister game.

As Claire and Owen regroup to process this shocking turn of events, they receive an unexpected tip from Barry Sembène, a former Jurassic World colleague turned French Intelligence agent. Operating undercover in Malta, Barry informs them that Maisie and Beta are being transported to Biosyn’s heavily guarded research facility deep in the Italian countryside. To reach their location, Claire and Owen enlist the help of Kayla Watts, a sympathetic cargo pilot with ties to Lewis Dodgson. Her insider knowledge proves invaluable as she flies them to the secluded facility.

Meanwhile, chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm, once a key figure in the San Diego incident, has been secretly working for Biosyn. As a mathematician and consultant, he’s been quietly investigating CEO Dr. Lewis Dodgson’s illicit activities at the behest of communications director Ramsay Cole. Malcolm’s inquiry leads him to Ellie, with whom he shares his concerns about Dodgson’s questionable plans. However, their efforts are thwarted by Biosyn’s geneticist, Dr. Henry Wu, who has been secretly working on a plan to control the world’s food supply through genetically engineered locusts.

Wu, once a key player in Jurassic Park and Jurassic World’s dinosaur cloning programs, reveals that he was instrumental in creating Maisie and her late mother. His latest scheme involves engineering locusts to avoid Biosyn crops, but Wu has since changed his tune, denouncing the plan as catastrophic. He warns that releasing these locusts into the wild will bring about global famine, as they spread unchecked. However, Dodgson remains resolute in his commitment to pushing forward with the plan, oblivious to the impending disaster he’s creating.

As Wu (actor name) unravels the intricate tale of Maisie’s conception, he reveals that Dr. Charlotte Lockwood, Benjamin Lockwood’s late daughter and his former colleague, employed her own DNA to create Maisie through an asexual process. This revolutionary technique allowed Maisie to be born with a unique genetic makeup, altered by Charlotte to prevent the transmission of a fatal disease she had inherited. Wu believes that the asexually conceived Maisie, along with Beta, hold the key to developing a pathogen capable of halting the devastating locust outbreak. His theory is rooted in the notion that if he can decipher how Charlotte modified Maisie’s DNA after her birth, he could utilize this technique to introduce a novel DNA sequence into the locust swarms, thereby eradicating them.

Meanwhile, Maisie escapes from captivity, accompanied by Beta. As the situation unfolds, Kayla’s plane is attacked by a Quetzalcoatlus in Biosyn’s airspace, prompting Owen and Kayla to make an emergency landing while Claire ejects. The trio subsequently encounters separate encounters with a Therizinosaurus and a Pyroraptor before regrouping.

In the midst of chaos, Ellie and Alan infiltrate a restricted lab within Biosyn and steal a locust sample. Their actions are soon discovered by Dodgson, who incinerates the locusts in an attempt to destroy evidence. However, this catastrophic event sets off a chain reaction, resulting in a forest fire that forces a site-wide evacuation.

Lewis becomes aware of Maisie’s escape with Alan and Ellie and promptly shuts down the hyper-loop network, compelling the trio to navigate the natural caves through which it was built. These ancient caverns are teeming with dinosaurs, and Lewis is well aware of this fact.

Ian and Ramsay launch a rescue mission after discovering Lewis’ actions. Alan, Ellie, and Maisie barely escape the cave system and reunite with Ian, Owen, Claire, and Kayla. Dodgson flees with dinosaur embryos via the hyper-loop but becomes trapped in a tunnel and is subsequently devoured by three Dilophosaurus.

As the world teeters on the brink of chaos, electronic implants activate, summoning dinosaurs to protect them from the encroaching fire. Owen locates and tranquilizes Beta, while Maisie witnesses the majesty of her peers as they adapt to their new coexistence with modern creatures.

The group ultimately escapes with Wu in a Biosyn helicopter, with Ellie and Alan rekindling their relationship before testifying alongside Ian and Ramsay against Biosyn. Owen, Claire, and Maisie return home, where they reunite Beta with Blue. Wu manufactures and releases a pathogen to eradicate the locusts.

In the aftermath, dinosaurs adapt to their new existence alongside modern creatures as the United Nations declares Biosyn Valley a dinosaur sanctuary, paving the way for coexistence between these ancient beasts and humanity.
