On a remote island, a wealthy entrepreneur secretly builds a theme park featuring live dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. Before opening the attraction to the public, he invites a top paleontologist, a paleobotanist, a mathematician/theorist, and his two eager grandchildren to experience the park -- but their visit is anything but tranquil as the park's security system breaks down, the prehistoric creatures break out.
