Set in the same world established by writer-director Colin Trevorrow, a reality in which humans and dinosaurs live side-by-side, Jurassic World Rebirth takes place five years after the events of Dominion.
Given that our planet has changed so much over the last 65+ million years, the ecology of Earth is proving rather inhospitable for the giant lizards that escaped Lockwood estate at the end of Fallen Kingdom. “Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived,” reads the synopsis provided by Universal. “The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”
Scarlet Johansson leads the expedition as Zora Bennett, an expert in covert operations who heads a top-secret team tasked with securing — what else? — genetic material from the three biggest specimens. However, things take a turn for the unexpected when Zora’s crew comes across a civilian family whose boat capsized by aquatic dinosaurs. Stranded on an island together, the group makes a shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades.
Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film’s leading cast includes Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali,
