***Jurassic World: Escape From Prehistoric Island*** is a sci-fi action-adventure comedy film set in the *Jurassic World* fan fiction universe. It is the sequel to *Jurassic World: Hell's Aquarium* and is inspired by a board game included with the book *Gone Extinct!* of the Groovy Tube book series. It is also KB Fan Fiction's 296th feature film.

Owen Grady, Claire Dearing, Josh and Ada Wong return in the film.

## Premise

Owen, Claire, Ada, Josh and Blue are sent on a trip to Site B with Professor Oswald, a paleontologist. However, they are shipwrecked and stranded on a deserted island, also populated by prehistoric animals. The team must help each other (and the creatures), defend the island from a rival company, and escape the island.

## Plot

The film is set a year after the events of *Jurassic World: Hell's Aquarium*. Josh, Jurassic World's CEO, recently holds a meeting of paleontologists around the world, including eccentric paleontologist Professor Phil Oswald, who is interested in the process of building Jurassic World. Oswald plans an expedition to Site B, a nearby island converted to a research center by JPB Holdings just a few miles away from JW Island. The next day, Josh gathers raptor trainer Owen Grady, paleobiologist Claire Dearing and marine biologist Ada Wong for Oswald's expedition to the island, and Owen brings his most loyal *Velociraptor*, Blue, to the expedition. During the boat journey, the boat was caught in a tropical monsoon and went off course, causing it to sink after hitting a reef.

The expedition team find themselves on a strange island, and Josh discovers that it is not Site B as intended, and that the island is located several miles further from Site B than JW Island is to Site B. Seeking help, the group explore a thick rainforest in the island, where they narrowly escape the jaws of a *Tyrannosaurus rex* that chases them out of the forest and into a dry desert.

After escaping from a startled herd of hadrosaurs, *Triceratops* and *Gallimimus* which are chased by the *T. rex* from earlier and a pack of *Velociraptor*, the team stops at an outpost near an oasis, where they meet scientist Dr. Courtney Choi, a Korean paleobiolgist who formerly worked for inGen and an old friend of Oswald's. The team share a conversation with Courtney, who reveals how she left inGen and ended up on the island, and that the prehistoric animals on the island are created by her herself. Courtney also shows the team a map of the island, which is divided into several zones, and the team discover that they have crossed the Forest, Plains and Desert Zone. After witnessing an unknown mercenary getting killed by the *Velociraptor* pack which chased the herd previously, Courtney realizes that the unknown mercenary came from a rival company that intends to sell her dinosaur DNA samples to the illegal trade, and the team agrees to follow her to her secret lab, which is located on a dormant volcano at the Mountain Zone, to retrieve the DNA samples. The team manages to get past the *Velociraptor* pack which was too busy eating until the *T. rex* shows up. The *Velociraptors* are suddenly trapped in a net thrown by a large missile while the *T. rex* flees.

The team then overcomes dangerous sea creatures across the Water Zone, where Courtney was saved by Claire from being almost snapped up by a *Liopleurodon*. Later, after getting a ride on the native hadrosaurs, the team traverses the Sky Zone where they barely survive a flock of pterosaurs chasing them across a series of suspension bridges, with Claire getting injured in the process. At the time the team reaches the Sky Zone's border with the Mountain Zone, they encounter the *T. rex* again, which scares away the pursuing pterosaurs with a ferocious roar. Courtney uses Owen's raptor calming method to calm the giant carnivore down, making the team realize that Courtney had a connection with the cloned prehistoric animals of the island, which she described as her own "children". They ride the *T. rex* to their destination, and they are ambushed by a number of unknown mercenaries in the process. Their leader is revealed to be Dr. Snare, Oswald's greatest rival, who has found the island before their arrival. After the *T. rex* shoves Dr. Snare and his men aside, the team arrives at the volcano and Courtney's secret field lab, where they retrieve the DNA samples, only to realize that the volcano is starting to erupt after noticing a rise in the temperature. However, as they exit the lab, they are ambushed by Dr. Snare and his men, who take the team to a large airship, which is parked at the other side of the volcano.

In Dr. Snare's airship, Dr. Snare begins to add listings to some of the prehistoric animals he and his mercenaries had captured for the black market. Meanwhile, Owen, who manages to break out, frees Blue who stalls the mercenaries, and later Josh and the girls who release the prehistoric animals captured by the mercenaries, including the *T. rex*. While the rest of the group hold Dr. Snare's men off, Courtney reclaims the stolen DNA samples when she is taken by Dr. Snare for a short trip around the airship's main hall, which was adorned with skeletons, specimens and dioramas of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals he had collected. Realizing the loss of the DNA samples he wanted, Dr. Snare gives chase, but encounters Owen who faces off with him until Dr. Snare is devoured by the *T. rex*. Josh and Ada fly the airship when the volcano began to erupt, heading out to the shore at the other side of the Mountain Zone, where they see various dinosaurs and prehistoric animals fleeing from the erupting volcano. Josh contacts JPB Holdings after revealing the island's location from another map the team brought with them, while Owen, Blue, Courtney and the *T. rex* round up the animals to the shore before a large ship owned by JPB Holdings arrives to carry the animals to safety. As the team leaves the island on the airship and the rescue boats sent by JPB Holdings, they watch as it is completely destroyed by the volcanic eruption. A distraught Courtney, who wanted to establish a wildlife preserve on the island, is calmed down by Josh and Oswald who says that her "children" will be going to a better, safer place: Jurassic World.

In the aftermath, Oswald and Courtney start a relationship and are hired by Josh to become lecturers for Jurassic World interns based on paleontology and creating dinosaurs. They reunite with Owen and Claire at the Main Street, where they receive a message from a team of Russian researchers, while Blue returns to Owen's *Velociraptor* pack.

In a mid-credits scene, the rescued prehistoric animals from the island (including the Water Zone's aquatic creatures) are being introduced to their respective species' enclosures.

## Trivia

#### *Jurassic Park III*

* The scene where the *T. rex* breaks through a dinosaur skeleton in Dr. Snare's airship is inspired by a similar scene in the film.

#### *Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom*

* The climactic volcano rescue scene is a clear homage to the film's volcanic eruption event.
* The hall in Dr. Snare's airship contains a large number of skeletons, dioramas, statues and specimens of various extinct species, similar to the hall in Lockwood Manor in the film.

	+ The monetary exchange units are similar, but with several changes:

#### Others
