When Jurassic Park redefined the summer blockbuster and went on to gross nearly a billion dollars, a sequel was naturally a foregone conclusion. But it was a bit of a surprise that it took four years to eventuate. In 1997, when it finally did, it met fierce opposition with a summer that included heavily promoted films including Dante's Peak, Men In Black, Batman and Robin and Speed 2: Cruise Control. Yeah, quality control was a bit off that year, but the dinosaurs - they delivered again.

The eccentric billionaire and Jurassic Park founder John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) sends a human expedition to the secret island designated 'Site B' to study the dinosaurs in their natural habitat, complicated by the designs of Hammond's previous company and legal owner of the Jurassic Park properties, InGen, whom decide to hunt and capture the animals to create a new Jurassic Park site in San Diego.
