A fourth film was initially intended to begin production in 2004 for a summer 2005 release, but endured over a decade of "development hell" as scheduled release dates were pushed back several times while the script went through revisions. Steven Spielberg, director of the first two Jurassic Park films, acted as executive producer, as he had for the third film. Thomas Tull also executive produced; his production company, Legendary Pictures, funded approximately 20 percent of the film's budget. The film was produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, and was released on June 10, 2015 in European countries, June 11 in Australia, India and Malaysia, and June 12 in North America, by Universal Pictures.

22 years after the Isla Nublar incident, Jurassic World is a new, fully functional dinosaur theme park located on the island. Brothers Zach and Gray Mitchell visit their aunt Claire Dearing, the park's operations manager. Upon arriving on the island, the two are left with Claire's assistant Zara as Simon Masrani, the park's owner, arrives and takes Claire to see their new genetically modified dinosaur, the "Indominus Rex" (a hybrid of Carnotaurus, cuttlefish, Giganotosaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops, tree frog, Tyrannosaurus, and Velociraptor). Upon inspection, he tells her he wants Owen Grady, a Velociraptor expert and trainer, to make sure the enclosure is adequate.
Owen is approached by Vic Hoskins, the head of InGen security, who proposes to use the Velociraptors (Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo) as a weapon. However, one of the staff falls into the Velociraptor enclosure and Owen rescues him before barely escaping, proving that the raptors are not tame. Gray and Zach leave Zara and explore the park. Claire, Owen's former flame, arrives at his bungalow and tells him of Masrani's request; he reluctantly agrees. After arriving at the enclosure, they find that the Indominus Rex has seemingly scaled the wall and escaped after eating its sibling. After Owen and two staff enter the enclosure for further inspection, the Indominus Rex ambushes them, having faked its escape, and kills both staff before disappearing into the park. Owen escapes by hiding under a vehicle and cutting the fuel hose to douse himself in gasoline to hide his scent.
