(Minor spoilers regarding characters, settings, and plot points are included below.)

1. Jurassic Park (1993)

The cinematic chronology largely mirrors the release order; only the shorts and Netflix series require adjustment. Jurassic Park adapts Crichton's novel, introducing the core concept: cloned dinosaurs populate a theme park (Isla Nublar) thanks to a reckless entrepreneur (Richard Attenborough).

Paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill), paleobotanist Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) assess the park's safety alongside John Hammond's grandchildren. A storm and sabotage disable security, unleashing the dinosaurs. The ensuing escape involves velociraptors and a T-Rex.
