"The Lost World: Jurassic Park" is a 1997 science fiction adventure film and the sequel to the 1993 blockbuster "Jurassic Park." Like the first film, it is directed by Steven Spielberg and based on a novel by Michael Crichton. The movie is the second installment in the "Jurassic Park" film series.
In "The Lost World," a team led by Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) returns to Isla Sorna, the second island where dinosaurs were cloned, in order to study the creatures in their natural habitat. The expedition quickly becomes a struggle for survival as they encounter not only dinosaurs but also face corporate interests, environmentalists, and the dangers of the island itself.
While "The Lost World" received mixed reviews from critics, it was a commercial success, grossing over $600 million worldwide. It featured notable sequences involving a T. rex roaming through San Diego and introduced new dinosaur species to the franchise. Despite the mixed critical response, the film has maintained its place in popular culture and is remembered as a significant entry in the "Jurassic Park" series.
