John Hammond summons Mathematician Ian Malcolm to tell him that there was actually a second island, code named Site B, where the real work of breeding the dinosaurs was done. The near- bankrupt Ingen corporation, headed by Hammond's mercenary nephew, has planned to capture the dinosaurs on Site B and display them at a mainland theme park. Hammond wants Malcolm to join a Paleontologist, a Photographer, and a Field-Equipment expert in an expedition to Site B to document the dinosaurs in the wild before the island is exploited. The team's research expedition is soon turned upside down as the communications equipment is destroyed, and the prehistoric inhabitants begin hunting the human intruders.
