Set five years after the events of "Jurassic World Dominion," the planet's ecology has largely rejected the presence of dinosaurs, confining them to isolated equatorial zones that mimic their ancient habitats. Within this tropical biosphere, three colossal creatures—ruling land, sea, and air—hold the key to a revolutionary drug in their DNA, promising life-saving benefits for humanity.

Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a covert operations expert tasked with leading a skilled team on a clandestine mission to extract this genetic material. Their operation takes an unexpected turn when they encounter a civilian family whose boat was overturned by aggressive aquatic dinosaurs, leaving everyone stranded on a forbidden island that once served as a secret research facility for Jurassic Park. Amidst a diverse population of dinosaurs, they uncover a sinister and shocking secret that has been concealed for decades.

The final trailer highlights several exciting scenes, including a river raft sequence inspired by Michael Crichton's original Jurassic Park novel. David Koepp, returning to the franchise, mentioned revisiting Crichton's novels for inspiration and 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 revealed. "We were like, ‘Hey, we get to use that now.’"

The trailer also introduces new dinosaur species, including the 'D-Rex,' officially named Distortus Rex. Described by director Gareth Edwards as a hybrid reminiscent of a T-Rex crossed with a Star Wars Rancor, this creature adds a unique twist to the film. "It’s kind of like if the T-Rex was designed by H.R. Giger, and then that whole thing had sex with a Rancor," Edwards explained.

Additionally, viewers get a glimpse of winged Mutadons, a blend of pterosaur and Raptor, further diversifying the dinosaur roster. The trailer promises yet another terrifying raptor encounter, this time featuring the Mutadons.
