A year after his heroics in L.A., detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) is mixed up in another terrorist plot, this time at Washington Dulles International Airport, where he is waiting for his wife (Bonnie Bedelia). That same night, South American politico and drug profiteer Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) is arriving in U.S. custody. McClane takes action when a treasonous ex-colonel (William Sadler) seizes control of the airport, threatening to crash every inbound flight unless Esperanza is freed.

Jurassic Park (1993) follows paleontologists Alan Grant & Ellie Sattler, mathematician Ian Malcolm, and John Hammond's grandchildren, Lex & Tim, as they tour a revolutionary dinosaur theme park on Isla Nublar, only for a villainous employee to sabotage security, unleashing dinosaurs like the T-Rex and Velociraptors, forcing the group to survive and escape the island as chaos theory proves true.

After the melting of the polar ice caps, most of the globe is underwater. Some humans have survived, and even fewer still, notably the Mariner (Kevin Costner), have adapted to the ocean by developing gills. A loner by nature, the Mariner reluctantly befriends Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her young companion, Enola (Tina Majorino), as they escape from a hostile artificial island. Soon the sinister Smokers are pursuing them in the belief that Enola holds the key to finding the mythical Dryland.
