Ian Malcolm Ian Malcolm is a Jurassic World minifigure that will appear in LEGO Jurassic World . He is a mathematician and chaos theorist . Background . " Jurassic Park " . Ian Malcolm was invited to the park by Donald Gennaro as an insurance consultant as Donald apparently felt that Ian , as a fiduciary , would be able to notice any dangerous shortcomings the park had . On the helicopter ride to Isla Nublar , he met John ' s consults , Paleobotanist Ellie Sattler and Paleontologist Alan Grant , and traveled with them , along with John and Donald , into the park where he was stunned by the astonishing sight of a living Brachiosaurus . He then traveled to the visitor ' s center and learned how the dinosaurs of the park were created , and watched an infant Velociraptor hatch . While his colleagues remained in awe of the event , Ian expressed skepticism of the Park ' s ability to control the animals they were breeding , and explained to his colleagues that " life finds a way " . Ian later went on the tour through the Park only to express disapproval when none of the dinosaurs showed themselves . Bored , he took to flirting with Ellie , much to Alan ' s chagrin , while attempting to explain chaos theory . After watching the sick Triceratops , he returns to the tour with Alan Grant , only to have it break down in front of the Tyrannosaurus rex paddock . The T . rex escapes , and attacks Donald ' s car , which Donald had earlier abandoned with the children inside . In an attempt to lure the rex away , Ian and Alan grab and ignite flares to cause a distraction , but the rex isn ' t fooled by Ian and chases him to the bathroom , where he is tossed several feet and injures his leg . Alan escapes with the kids and Ellie and Robert Muldoon arrive to help Ian , only to be set upon by the Tyrannosaurus . Having put Ian in the jeep , they escape after a short but intense chase . Ian is brought to the control room where he helps formulate a plan to restart the power . Ian is brought to a bunker where he and John talk Ellie through the process of turning the power back on . After the systems come back online , Ian and John drive back to the visitor ' s center to pick up Alan , Ellie , and the kids , all of whom then drive to the helicopter , leaving the island . " The Lost World " . The Lost World " takes place four years after Jurassic Park . After the events of the first film , Malcolm tries to go public about his experience on Isla Nublar , only to be discredited by Hammond ' s nephew , Peter Ludlow , who tells the public that Malcolm is crazy and does not know what he is talking about . Despite this status , Malcolm manages to develop a relationship with an accomplished biologist named Sarah Harding . Malcolm is eventually summoned to Hammond ' s house where Hammond reveals to a shocked Malcolm the nature of Site B ; a separate island where the dinosaurs were bred before being moved to the main island . Hammond then unveils his plan to send a team of researchers to the island to photograph the animals in their natural habitat in order to create public sympathy and discourage corporations , such as Ludlow ' s InGen , from profiting off the island . Malcolm , who is invited along , initially refuses , but changes his mind when Hammond reveals that Sarah was also hired and has already left for the island . Malcolm then meets up with Hammond ' s other men , Eddie Carr and Nick Van Owen , and makes preparations to leave for the island . Upon arrival , the team immediately begins searching for Sarah using a satellite phone , and eventually find her following a herd of Stegosaurus . After a brief encounter with the creatures , they return to the trailer , where Malcolm finds that his daughter , Kelly , has stowed away on board . He attempts to convince Sarah to leave with him , but is interrupted when a fleet of helicopters bearing the InGen logo and carrying various automobiles arrive over the island . The team follows the new arrivals and watch as they chase down various dinosaurs in jeeps and violently capture several of the creatures . That night they watch as Ludlow , who is in charge of the group , gives a presentation to his shareholders and announces his plan to recreate Jurassic Park in San Diego . He is interrupted however when Sarah and Nick set the captive dinosaurs loose , destroying the camp . In an attempt to avoid the chaos , Malcolm takes Kelly back to the trailer , and later to the high - hide when Sarah and Nick arrive at the trailer with an injured infant Tyrannosaurus . However after hearing the unmistakable bellows of the infant ' s parents Malcolm leaves the safety of the hide and runs on foot back to the trailer just as the adult Tyrannosaurs arrive , and helps return the healed infant to its parents . However , the tyrannosaurs remain unimpressed and , seeing the trailer and its inhabitants as a threat , promptly push the trailer until it hovers precariously over a cliff . After barely saving Sarah from falling , Malcolm and Nick are rescued by Eddie who , in the process , is eaten by the tyrannosaurs . The three are then helped back onto the cliff by Roland Tembo , who is in charge of Ludlow ' s team . With all of InGen ' s equipment and automobiles destroyed , Roland decides that an uneasy alliance is the best method for escaping the island . Reunited with Kelly , Malcolm and his team agree to trek to the destroyed facility at the island ' s center . Along the way , Malcolm attempts to coerce Ludlow into realizing the error of his ways , but is unsuccessful . That night , the team is set upon by the tyrannosaurs , who followed the smell of the infant T . rex ' s blood on Sarah ' s jacket . The team is separated in the chaos , with most of them being chased in a massive stampede to a waterfall . Malcolm , Sarah , Kelly , and Nick end up separated from the InGen group , who are ambushed by Velociraptors in the long grass surrounding the facility . The four make it through the grass unscathed , but Malcolm is briefly hurt and Nick goes on ahead to call for help . Eventually Ian , Sarah , and Kelly follow , only to be attacked by three raptors . They eventually escape the compound where they board a helicopter that Nick called in , departing the island for good . Unfortunately however , their troubles are not yet over as they eventually find that Tembo has tranquilized the buck Tyrannosaur and the team are bringing him back to the mainland . Ian and Sarah try to visit the dock where Ludlow is holding a press conference when the freighter holding the animal suddenly crashes through the dock , releasing the Rex . As the animal goes on a rampage through San Diego , Malcolm and Harding drive to the site of the new Park and steal the infant . They then find the father and lure him away using the infant . After a brief chase , they bring the animals back to the freighter and drop the infant in the cargo bay , where it is followed by a greedy Ludlow , as well as the adult rex , who kills Ludlow . Malcolm then re - boards the ship and closes the cargo bay , locking the beast inside . In the aftermath , Malcolm is last seen resting on his couch with Sarah , while Kelly watches a news program showing the freighter returning to the island . The public finds out that Malcolm was telling the truth and his reputation is restored .
