Explained simply
The Jurassic World films continue the story of the Jurassic Park series, in which scientists bring dinosaurs back to life and people try to contain the consequences. Fallen Kingdom follows Owen Grady, played by Chris Pratt, and Claire Dearing as they return to an island where the dinosaurs are at risk.
The film was released in 2018 and directed by J.A. Bayona. Its reported production costs vary: earlier estimates put the budget at about $460 million, while a later report based on UK filings placed costs above $600 million. The series has since continued without Pratt in its 2023 film, and Bayona has been tapped to direct an eighth instalment.
