1. Jurassic Park (1993)

The cinematic chronology largely mirrors the release order; only the shorts and Netflix series require adjustments. Jurassic Park adapts Crichton's novel, introducing the core concept: cloned dinosaurs populate a theme park (Isla Nublar) thanks to DNA extracted from ancient mosquitoes.

Paleontologist Alan Grant, paleobotanist Ellie Sattler, and mathematician Ian Malcolm assess the park's safety alongside Lex and Tim Murphy. A storm and sabotage disable security, unleashing the dinosaurs. A thrilling escape ensues, featuring velociraptors and a T-Rex.
