Jurassic World: Rebirth's plot explored

Jurassic World: Dominion came out back in 2022 and focused on the dinosaurs co-existing alongside humans on Earth. However, with the company Biosyn involved, a new conspiracy was given birth to and a lot of dinos attacking humans took place.

The plot of the film will focus on a covert operation that will see the leads try to secure DNA from three of the most massive dinosaurs ever. However, when they come across a stranded family in a boat, they will get stuck on an island where they will discover a secret hidden from the world. The official synopsis, as per Universal Studios, reads as:

“Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind."

It continues,

Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure genetic material from the world’s three most massive dinosaurs. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on an island where they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that’s been hidden from the world for decades.”
