Thesequel to 2015's Jurassic World, and the second installment of the Jurassic World Trilogy. The film stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and B. D. Wong, reprising their roles from previous entries to the series along with Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith, Rafe Spall, Ted Levine, Toby Jones, James Cromwell, Geraldine Chaplin, and Jeff Goldblum who returns to the franchise for the first time since 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
Set three years after the events of Jurassic World, Mount Sibo, a dormant volcano, has become active on Isla Nublar, and threatens to destroy the island's population of dinosaurs. With the eruption imminent, the park's former operations manager Claire Dearing, now the founder and leader of the Dinosaur Protection Group, recruits Owen Grady in an effort to rescue the island's dinosaurs and evacuate them to safety.
Six months after the demise of the Jurassic World theme park on Isla Nublar, a group of mercenaries are sent to Isla Nublar to recover the bones of the Indominus rex from the Jurassic World lagoon for the creation of a new genetically modified hybrid: the Indoraptor.[1] An underwater submersible is sent down and retrieves a rib bone, and sends it up on a buoy before it is attacked by the Mosasaurus. The people on land who opened the gate to the lagoon lose contact with the submarine pilots. The gate starts to close and a Dilophosaurus can be heard running away in the jungle. The trees nearby shake and Jurassic World's veteran Tyrannosaurus rex attacks the group. Jack is left on the ground and their helicopter lets down a rope ladder. They escape the Tyrannosaurus, but Jack is then swallowed by the Mosasaurus after it jumps into the air and it escapes from its enclosure.
In 2018, Claire Dearing, the former park manager, has now founded the Dinosaur Protection Group, an organization dedicated to saving and protecting the dinosaurs. After the government refuses to fund a rescue operation to save the dinosaurs (as advised by Ian Malcolm), Claire is summoned to the estate of Sir Benjamin Lockwood, an old business partner of John Hammond, who agrees to fund the rescue mission and bring the dinosaurs to a new sanctuary island where they will be left to live on their own, safe from human interference. Lockwood's assistant, Eli Mills, asks Claire to recruit Owen Grady, a former raptor trainer who worked at the park, to find and capture Blue, the last surviving Velociraptor. Claire goes to recruit Owen who initially is reluctant and skeptical over saving the dinosaurs at all. However when he later rewatches old videos of Blue as a baby, Owen decides to join Claire's team.
At Lockwood Manor, Maisie Lockwood, Sir Benjamin's young granddaughter, teases housekeeper Iris with a jump scare in the Museum Parlor. After Iris berates Maisie for her sense of humor, Maisie goes to speak with her grandfather. Lockwood mentions how much Maisie is like her mother which leads Maisie to ask if she "looks like her" which troubles Iris. Lockwood, however, tells her that she does and also tells his granddaughter that her mother once visited Jurassic Park "a long time ago" and that she too - like the Dinosaur Protection Group - would've tried to save the dinosaurs.
Claire and Owen then set off on a charter plane with Zia Rodriguez, a paleo-veterinarian, and Franklin Webb, an IT expert, both from the Dinosaur Protection Group. Once their plane lands, the group is surprised to find a large base camp has already been set up, and they are met by Ken Wheatley, a big game and trophy hunter serving as the "expedition facilitator". They all set off along with a group of mercenaries to reactivate an abandoned radio communications tower that they will use to find the dinosaurs via their RFID chip implants. Along the way while passing through the Jurassic World main street, they encounter a Brachiosaurus, the first dinosaur Zia has seen in real life.
Owen, Zia, Wheatley and some of the mercenaries go to find Blue. Owen suggests that he set out on his own to find Blue, and the others stay behind at the truck. When Owen comes upon the fallen Explorer 04 near the old Tyrannosaur Paddock of the old Jurassic Park, Blue jumps out and Owen tries to bond with her before she is tranquilized by Wheatley and his mercenaries. Angry, Blue tackles a mercenary and kills him but not before drawing his sidearm and shooting her, much to Wheatley's and Owen's dismay. Owen tries to attack Wheatley but Wheatley tranquilizes him and threatens to shoot Zia. Zia says that she is the only one who can keep Blue alive and Wheatley has his men put their weapons down.
Mt. Sibo erupts, causing the mercenaries protecting Claire and Franklin to panic and drive off, locking them inside the old communications center. A Baryonyx surprises them by crawling through an old tunnel, but is temporarily held at bay by falling lava. Franklin and Claire narrowly escape through an emergency ladder and lock the Baryonyx inside the communications center. Owen awakes from his unconsciousness, but is still mostly immobile. He is surprised by a Sinoceratops, which plays with him for a little while before getting scared off and running away from the approaching lava which crawls toward Owen but he manages to (barely) escape just before he is engulfed by the lava. He runs into Claire and Franklin and yells at them repeatedly to "Run", the three elude the lava and falling debris and magma bombs, while avoiding getting trampled by the stampeding dinosaurs.
Franklin and Claire both hide inside a Gyrosphere, when a Carnotaurus appears and fights a Sinoceratops, before being pinned down and killed by the T. rex who also makes a run for it. Franklin, Claire, and Owen make a run from the burning ash, Owen is slowed down a bit by the ash, but Claire and Franklin fall off the edge with several other dinosaurs. The magma bombs break the Gyrosphere, and Claire and Franklin almost drown, but are able to survive when Owen opens one of the doors using his survival knife. Crawling up on the beach, they see several of the dinosaurs, such as the Baryonyx and T. rex all being captured, The mercenaries on the ship called the Arcadia begin caging all of the captured dinosaurs, Wheatley takes a pair of pliers and yanks a tooth out of a tranquilized Stegosaurus, Owen, Claire, and Franklin also see Blue being tended to by Zia who has been captured, then the three use a truck to drive on the ship, which is leaving the island, they only barely make it, and watch the island burn up in the background. A trapped Brachiosaurus calls out to the departing ship before being engulfed by the ash and perishing.
Eli is disappointed by the lack of progress and meets with Gunnar Eversol, an auctioneer who he hopes will help sell the dinosaurs in a grand auction. Maisie overhears their conversation and learns of their plan. Eli takes Gunnar to a lab, where he reveals that they are creating a new dinosaur, called the Indoraptor, and potentially other improvements in its wake for the sake of military interests and warfare. The current specimen being a prototype, and their plan to use it for militaristic purposes (and act upon Vic Hoskins' original plans for the Indominus Rex). Maisie attempts to tell Sir Benjamin, but he seemingly believes she misheard them and sends her off to bed.
While Blue's operation occurs on the Arcadia, Maisie, having observed Mills entering the passcode for the mansion's elevator the previous day, secretly enters the laboratory and watches several clips of Owen training the Velociraptors on Isla Nublar. Her exploration is interrupted by Mills and Dr. Henry Wu; the latter is extremely stressed about Blue's condition. Maisie, in an attempt to escape the two men, backs into a corridor and encounters the caged Indoraptor, who reaches out and gently strokes her hair from behind. Maisie screams, alerting the attention of Mills, who angrily escorts her upstairs and locks her in her bedroom. Mills orders Iris to keep Maisie in her room but Iris then tells Mills Sir Benjamin needs to speak to him. Privately, Lockwood confronts Mills about the latter's true intention of selling the dinosaurs in an auction, angered that Mills has crossed him and used his own mansion as the auction's venue. Ordered by Lockwood to call the police himself, Mills instead murders Lockwood by smothering him with a pillow.
The DPG awaken aboard the Arcadia the ship docks in Northern California. Owen, Claire, and Franklin try to sneak off the ship but Franklin is caught and mistaken for one of the deck crew. Zia helps cover for Franklin by saying she needed his help and Franklin is taken along with the rest of the crew to load out the dinosaurs. Claire and Owen sneak onto an empty transport truck and drive off with the entire convoy en route to Lockwood Manor. However the two are recognized by a mercenary who warns Wheatley and captures the two before they can drive off to warn the authorities.
Mills and Wheatley have Owen and Claire imprisoned in the subbasement animal pens with the dinosaurs and Mills calls the two out on their past sins & actions which contributed to dinosaurs being exploited and harmed. Owen nearly breaks Mills' arm before Claire pulls Mills forward to hit his head on the cage bars. Bidders soon arrive for the auction and Maisie escapes her room from the outside rooftops to get to Sir Benjamin's room to warn him. However she finds Sir Benjamin dead and flees down the dumbwaiter chute to avoid being caught by Mills again.
The auction begins to take place with Eversol speaking to customers of various national backgrounds. Several species from Isla Nublar are presented and bought by guests at the auction and some being driven off to places far away. As the auction occurs, Owen manages to trick a juvenile Stygimoloch into breaking down the concrete wall of the pen with its dome head before further tricking it into breaking the cell door. As Owen and Claire get out they run into Maisie whom Claire remembers from her meeting with Lockwood. Maisie also recognizes Owen from the videos on Wu's computer. In her grief at losing her grandfather, Maisie sobs in Owen's arms and Claire and Owen decide to take Maisie along with them in order to get out of the Manor and shutdown Mills' plans.
