Battle at Big Rock was a short film directed by Jurassic World director and writer Colin Trevorrow. Trevorrow as well as Emily Carmichael, the writer for the 2021 final installment of the series, all served as a writer for the short. The musical composition was by Amie Doherty and this is notable because the short features The Lost World: Jurassic Park‘s theme in the credits, which is a first since the film’s release in 1997. Battle at Big Rock takes place approximately one year after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and deals with the aftermath of the film by having brought the dinosaurs from their home on Isla Nublar directly to Northern California which has caused them to spread across the continental United States. The film details a family of five in the Pacific Northwest at Big Rock National Park on a camping trip and how this family, like numerous others, are adjusting to world with living, breathing dinosaurs roaming it once again. The short first premiered on the FX television network in the United States on September 15th, 2019 and was uploaded online shortly after airing on the cable network. The short itself is approximately close to 9 minutes and with a few scenes in the credits showing others coping with the prehistoric animals that have repopulated the United States.
