Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film picks up four years after the disaster at Jurassic Park. On a nearby island, dinosaurs have secretly survived and been allowed to roam free but now there is a more ominous threat - a plan to capture and bring the dinosaurs to the mainland. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) who has lost control of his InGen company, sees a chance to redeem himself for his past mistakes and sends an expedition led by Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) to reach the island before the mercenary team gets there.

The two groups confront each other in the face of extreme danger and must team up for their own survival in a race against time.

With more dinosaurs, more action, and more visual effects than the first record-breaking film, The Lost World, based on the thrilling bestseller by Michael Crichton with a screenplay by David Koepp, also stars Julianne Moore, Pet Postlethwaite, Arliss Howard, Vince Vaughn, and Vanessa Lee Chester.
