Official Synopsis

Five years after the events of *Jurassic World Dominion*, Earth's ecosystems have largely become unsuitable for sustaining dinosaurs. Those that remain are confined to isolated tropical zones where the climate mirrors their ancestral habitats. Within this fragile biosphere, three colossal dinosaurs—dominating land, sea, and air—carry genetic material key to developing a groundbreaking medical drug with life-saving potential for humanity.

Scarlett Johansson’s character, Zora Bennett, leads a covert team tasked with retrieving this vital genetic data. However, when their mission collides with a civilian family caught in the chaos, all are stranded on a forbidden island once used for secret Jurassic Park research. As they navigate terrain teeming with prehistoric predators from various species, they uncover a dark, long-buried truth that could change everything.

Final Trailer Highlights

The final trailer gives viewers several standout sequences, including a reimagined version of the iconic river raft scene from Michael Crichton’s original *Jurassic Park* novel. Screenwriter David Koepp revealed he revisited the source material during development, incorporating previously unused elements from the first book. “There was a sequence from the first novel that we’d always wanted in the original movie, but didn’t have room for,” Koepp shared. “Now, we finally get to use it.”

One surprising moment reveals a swimming T-Rex—an idea hinted at in earlier installments but never fully explored until now. The trailer also introduces a range of new dinosaur species, including the terrifying Distortus Rex, or D-Rex. Described by director Gareth Edwards as “if the T-Rex was designed by H.R. Giger and then had sex with a Rancor,” this genetically altered predator blends monstrous size with grotesque design, making it one of the film’s most fearsome antagonists.

Additionally, the trailer features the winged Mutadons—hybrid creatures combining traits of pterosaurs and raptors. As Koepp explained, these new additions bring a fresh level of danger and unpredictability to the film. True to franchise tradition, *Jurassic World Rebirth* delivers a chilling predator sequence, this time involving the Mutadons rather than classic raptors.
