Universal Pictures releases Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking masterpiece Jurassic Park in 3D on April 5, 2013. With his remastering of the epic into a state-of-the-art 3D format, Spielberg introduces the three-time Academy Award-winning blockbuster to a new generation of moviegoers and allows longtime fans to experience the world he envisioned in a way that was unimaginable during the film’s original release.
John Hammond, CEO of InGen, has created Jurassic Park: a theme park on a tropical island populated with cloned dinosaurs. After a workman is killed by a dinosaur, Hammond’s investors, represented by attorney Donald Gennaro, demand that experts visit the park and certify it as safe. Gennaro invites mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm while Hammond invites paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant and paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler.
They are joined by Hammond’s grandchildren, Lex and Tim Murphy. The group sets off in a pair of electric SUVs on a tour of the park, while Hammond stays in the Visitor’s Center to observe his guests from Jurassic Park’s control room. With him are chief engineer Ray Arnold and game warden Robert Muldoon. The tour does not go as Hammond plans: some of the dinosaurs, including Dilophosaurus and Tyrannosaurus, fail to show, and the Triceratops has fallen ill.
An incoming tropical storm forces a cancellation of the rest of the tour, while most of the park employees depart on a boat for the mainland. Everyone returns to the electric vehicles except Ellie, who stays with the park’s veterinarian to study the Triceratops.
Jurassic Park’s computer programmer, Dennis Nedry, has been paid off by one of InGen’s corporate rivals to steal dinosaur embryos. During the theft, Nedry deactivates the park’s security system to allow him access to the embryo storage room. Many of the park’s electric fences are deactivated as a result, releasing a Tyrannosaurus that attacks the tour group, killing Gennaro and injuring Malcolm. Grant, Lex, and Tim narrowly escape. Nedry becomes disoriented by the heavy rain and crashes his car; while attempting to winch his car he is attacked and killed by a Dilophosaurus.
Sattler and Muldoon search for survivors, but only find Malcolm before they are attacked by the T. rex and return to the visitor center. Unable to decipher Nedry’s code to reactivate the security system, Arnold and Hammond opt to reboot the park’s computer and electrical network. The group shuts down the park’s grid and retreat to an emergency bunker, while Arnold heads to a maintenance shed to complete the process of rebooting the system. When he fails to return, Sattler and Muldoon head to the shed themselves.
