The film follows events five years after Jurassic World Dominion, when “the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs,” according to the official summary. “Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”
Johansson plays the role of Zora Bennett, a Covert Operations expert who leads the team on a gruelling mission to extract DNA from the three largest dinosaur species left alive. However, she ends up stranded on an island alongside a civilian family. Meanwhile, Ali plays the role of Zora's partner, Duncan Kincaid, and Bailey portrays Dr Henry Loomis, a palaeontologist.
