Jurassic Park's disgruntled computer specialist, Dennis Nedry has been paid by a rival research company to smuggle frozen dinosaur embryos off the island. To get to the boat dock, Nedry shuts down all the island's security systems. The T. Rex escapes his enclosure and attacks the stranded tour cars. The lawyer is killed, and Malcolm is injured when he lures the T. Rex away from the children. Grant rappels down an embankment into the paddock to rescue young Tim. Nedry drives to the boat dock but loses his way in the storm and gets stuck in mud. When he tries to get the jeep back on the road, he's attacked and devoured by a Dilophosaurus, a small but deadly dinosaur. The stolen embryos are lost and buried in mud. Traveling cross-country with the two children, Alan discovers that some female dinosaurs have switched genders and are reproducing. Game keeper, Robert Muldoon and Ellie rescue Malcolm and make it back to the compound. To turn the power back on, Muldoon and Ellie must cross the compound to get to the electrical station. Muldoon is ambushed and devoured by one of the raptors, but Ellie reaches the station and turns the power back on, although she's nearly attacked by the other raptor.Alan and the kids make it back to the compound and meet up with Ellie. They get to the main lobby, but are surrounded by the two raptors. As the raptors are about to attack, the T. Rex crashes in and kills them. The humans escape and are rescued by Hammond and Ian, who arrive in a jeep. They drive to the helicopter landing where a rescue chopper is waiting.

Continuity mistake: After the T. Rex rolls Explorer 4 upside-down with Lex and Tim inside, in the closeup when the dinosaur bites on the rubber tire we see the hub hole at the center of the wheel rim, but two shots later the wheel cover is back on the wheel.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: You think they'll have THAT on the tour?
Trivia: When the grandchildren and Grant are crawling above the drop-down ceiling to flee from the raptors, the raptors at one point have "squares" of light shining on them. If you look closely at this light, these "squares" of light are not really squares, but the letters A T C G, the DNA sequence abbreviations.
Question: Was there any truth to Hammond's comment that none of the rides at Disneyland worked when the park first opened? I just find that a little hard to believe.

Chosen answer: Yes. The first opening day of Disneyland in California was catastrophic. The pavement was fresh and the sun was so hot high-heeled shoes actually sunk into the walkways. Counterfeit tickets were made, resulting in more people than the park had room for. They ran out of food and drinks. Bathrooms clogged and shut down. Many of the rides broke down on opening day. The Storybook Land Canal Boats had to be pulled by cast members in rubber boots. At the time, there were no guide rails for Autopia; some of the cars crashed into each other, making them inoperable. A gas leak in Fantasyland lead to the land being temporarily closed for part of the day.
