The film is set a few years after the conclusion of the series’ most recent trilogy. That one was capped by Jurassic World: Dominion in 2022. At the end of Dominion, humans were left to face a new existence alongside beasts from our prehistoric past.
In Jurassic World Rebirth, things have changed. Set five years later, it takes us to a new island – one used as a research facility for the original Jurassic Park.
Where does Jurassic Park Rebirth take place?
As it stands, it’s currently unclear whether this new location is Isla Sorna, the island featured in Spielberg’s 1997 Jurassic Park sequel The Lost World.
According to author Micheal Crichton’s source material, this jungle habitat was used to rear the dinosaurs created by genetics company InGen before they were shipped off to Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar.

Despite this lack of location confirmation, it sounds like we’re set to see the “worst of the worst” when it comes to genetically engineered dinos.
What is the plot for Jurassic World Rebirth?
According to the movie’s official synopsis, the movie will follow a covert operations specialist forced to embark on a mission that could save mankind.
“This action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind,” explains the movie’s synopsis.
“Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived.
“The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.”
