About Jurassic World
The story of Steven Spielberg's original comes full circle as
the park that was only a promise comes to life. Welcome to
Jurassic World, a fully operational luxury resort off the
coast of Costa Rica where 20,000
guests explore the wonder of Earth's most magnificent living prehistoric
marvels—of every shape and size—and interact up close with them
every day.
When the massive and mysterious Indominus rex stages an
escape and disappears into the jungle, order turns to mayhem and
guests turn into prey. Dinosaurs escape into the open, skies
and water to engage in an all-out war for survival, and no corner
within the world's greatest theme park is safe anymore.
Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio,
Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, Omar
Sy, BD Wong and Irrfan Khan star in the 3D epic
action-adventure that is directed by Colin
Trevorrow and based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The screenplay is by
Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Derek
Connolly & Trevorrow, and the story is by Rick Jaffa & Amanda
Silver. Frank Marshall and
Patrick Crowley join the team as
