Jurassic World is a 2015 American science fiction adventure film.[1][4] It is the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park film series and the first installment in the planned Jurassic World trilogy, while also serving as a direct sequel to the franchise's first film, Jurassic Park (1993). It was directed by Colin Trevorrow, written by Derek Connolly and Trevorrow, produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, and stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, Omar Sy, BD Wong, and Irrfan Khan. Set 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park, Jurassic World takes place on the same fictional Central American island of Isla Nublar, which is located off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, where a theme park of cloned dinosaurs has operated for nearly a decade. The park plunges into chaos when a transgenic dinosaur escapes from its enclosure and goes on a rampage.

Universal Pictures intended to begin production of a fourth Jurassic Park film in 2004 for a mid-2005 release but was in development hell while the script underwent several revisions. Following a suggestion from executive producer Steven Spielberg, writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver explored the idea of a functional dinosaur park. Once Trevorrow was hired as director in 2013, he followed the same idea while developing a new script with Connolly. Filming lasted from April to August 2014 in Louisiana and Hawaii. The dinosaurs were created by Industrial Light & Magic using CGI and by Legacy Effects using life-sized animatronics.
Production was completed in May 2015,[5] and Jurassic World was released in over 60 countries beginning on June 10, 2015. After a record-breaking opening weekend during which it became the first film to gross over $500 million,[6] Jurassic World generated $1.6 billion in box office revenue, ranking sixth among the highest-grossing films of all time. It was also the second-highest-grossing film of 2015 and the highest-grossing in the franchise. Furthermore, it is the highest-grossing film ever released by Universal Pictures unadjusted for inflation.[7] The film received generally positive reviews for Trevorrow's direction, Pratt and Howard's performances, and the visuals; however, the screenplay and narrative received some criticism.[8][9] A sequel titled Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was released in June 2018. Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, an animated series set concurrently with the events of Jurassic World, is scheduled for a 2020 release on Netflix.
