The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Hammond tells Malcolm there's a second island, Isla Sorna, where dinosaurs roam free. He has lost control of InGen to his nephew Peter Ludlow, who wants to ship the animals to a park in San Diego. Malcolm heads to the island to get his girlfriend, Sarah Harding, along with Eddie Carr, photographer Nick Van Owen and Malcolm's daughter Kelly, who stows away. Ludlow's hunting team arrives too. Nick rescues an injured baby T. rex. The parents attack the trailer, and Eddie dies. Ludlow ships the male T. rex to San Diego, where it gets loose at the docks. Malcolm and Sarah use the baby to lure it back onto the ship, and Ludlow is killed. Isla Sorna becomes a nature preserve.
