Johansson plays Zora Bennett, a skilled covert operations specialist contracted to lead a team of expert operatives on a covert mission to secure genetic material. Zora’s operation follows a suburban family whose boat trip is interrupted by a dangerous aquatic dino, leaving them stranded on a forbidden island that once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in an area populated by a diverse range of dinosaur species, they come across a terrifying, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
