Alan Grant (Sam Neill)’s Timeline and Summary

Alan Grant (Sam Neill)’s Timeline and Summary

  • Alan Grant is doing his thing—digging up fossils, pretending to gut children with a raptor claw—when John Hammond makes him an offer he can't refuse.
  • Grant and Sattler fly to Isla Nublar and Jurassic Park.
  • After an awe-inspiring view of a live Brachiosaurus, Grant talks to the scientists of Jurassic Park and wonders if this whole thing is a good idea.
  • On the tour, Grant checks out a sick Triceratops, his favorite dinosaur.
  • But on the way back, they lose power and are stranded outside the T. rex paddock.
  • When the T. rex escapes, Grant protects the children and eventually leads them back to the visitor's center.
  • In the visitor's center, they still have to run from raptors, but they ultimately escape and leave Jurassic Park via helicopter.
  • Needless to say, Grant decides not to endorse Jurassic Park.
