Davidchannel 29 Entertaiment / Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer / Miramax Films' movie-spoofs of Universal Pictures' 1993 Live-Action science fiction / adventure / action film *Jurassic Park*. It's loosely based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name published in 1990.

In the loving memory of Richard Attenborough (1923-2014) and Bob Peck (1945-1999).

In Steven Spielberg's massive blockbuster, paleontologists Pacha (Alan Grant) and Jane Porter (Ellie Sattler) and mathematician Prince Eric (Ian Malcom) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme zoo park populated by animals (dinosaurs) brought from various continents. While the park's mastermind, billionaire Captain Neweyes (John Hammond), assures everyone that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt.

## Plot:

Industrialist Captain Neweyes (John Hammond) has created a theme park of wild animals (dinosaurs), Safari Park, on tropical Isla Nublar. After a animal handler is killed by a Striped Hyena (portrayed by Ena), the park's investors, represented by lawyer Winston Deavor (Donald Gennaro), demand a safety certification. Winston invites chaotician Prince Eric (Ian Malcolm), while Neweyes invites paleontologist Pacha (Alan Grant) and paleobotanist Jane Porter (Ellie Sattler). Upon arrival, the group is shocked to see a free Reticulated Giraffe (Potrayed by Twiga).

At the park's visitor center, the group learns that the transportation of animals was achieved thanks to species exchanges in zoos in other regions of the world, and to prevent breeding, all the animals were made female by direct chromosome manipulation. The group witnesses the birth of a baby hyena and visits the hyenas enclosure. During lunch, the group debates the ethics of cloning and the creation of the park; Eric warns about the implications of genetic engineering and scoffs at the park's conceptualization, saying that it will inevitably break down.

Neweyes's grandchildren, Penny Forrester (Lex) and Cody (Tim), join for a tour of the park, while Neweyes oversees from the control room. The tour does not go as planned, with most of the animals failing to appear and the group encountering a sick Rhinoceros (portrayed by Mother Rhino); it is cut short as a tropical storm approaches. Most of the park employees leave for the mainland on a boat while the visitors return to their electric tour vehicles, except Porter, who stays behind with the park's veterinarian to study the rhinos.

Safari Park's disgruntled lead computer programmer, Al McWhiggin (Dennis Nedry), has been bribed by Sykes (Lewis Dodgson), a man working for Neweyes' corporate rival, to steal fertilized animals embryos. Al deactivates the park's security system to gain access to the embryo storage room and stores the embryos inside a container disguised as a shaving cream can. Al's sabotage also cuts power to the tour vehicles, stranding them just as they near the park's Bengal tiger (portrayed by Mahaaraanee) enclosure. Most of the park's electric fences are also deactivated, allowing the tiger to escape and attack the group. After the tiger overturns a tour vehicle, it injures Eric and devours Winston, while Pacha, Penny and Cody escape. On his way to deliver the embryos to the island's docks, Al becomes lost in the rain, crashes his Jeep Wrangler, and is killed by a African wild dog.

Jane helps the game warden, John Smith (Robert Muldoon), search for survivors; they only find an injured Eric, just before the tiger returns and chases them away. Pacha, Penny and Cody take shelter in a treetop and encounter a herd of giraffes (portrayed by Agatha and Bridget). They later discover the new born animals, and Pacha concludes that the animals have been breeding, which occurred because of their vermins DNA—animals like any mammal can change their sex in a single-sex environment, allowing the animals to do so as well.

Unable to decipher Al's code to reactivate the security system, Neweyes and chief engineer Lucius Best (Ray Arnold) reboot the park's system. The group shuts down the park's grid and retreats to an emergency bunker while Lucius heads to a maintenance shed to complete the rebooting process. When Lucius fails to return, Jane and John Smith head to the shed. They discover the shutdown has deactivated the remaining fences and released the Hyenas. Smith distracts the hyenas while Jane goes to turn the power back on before being attacked by a hyena and discovering Lucius' severed arm. Meanwhile, Smith is caught off-guard and killed by the other two hyenas.

Pacha, Penny and Cody reach the visitor center. Pacha heads out to look for Jane Porter, leaving Cody and Penny inside. Cody and penny are pursued by the hyenas in a kitchen, but they escape and join Pacha and Jane, who have returned. The group reaches the control room and Penny uses Al's computer to restore the park's power, allowing them to call Neweyes, who calls for help. As they try to escape by the front entrance, they are cornered by the hyenas, but they escape when the tiger appears and kills the hyenas. Neweyes arrives in a jeep with Eric, and the group boards a helicopter to leave the island.
