9. Dennis Nedry's Plan To Smuggle Dinosaur Embryos - Jurassic Park
THE PLAN: Dennis Nedry is paid off by a rival company to steal the dinosaur embryos from Jurassic Park and then transport them back using his funky little shaving cream cold storage unit. Nedry plans on doing this by shutting down the park security systems using some complicated program he has set up and quietly popping into the lab before jumping on a boat and living a life of luxury permanently camped out in a KFC and buying new pairs of glasses.
WHY IT'S STUPID: The very fact that he has to switch off the park fences in order to make his escape is utterly bonkers. While it's true that some IT guys exist in their own little worlds and are totally blind to the world around them, he surely new that there were frickin' dinosaurs wandering around the forests? Given basically everyone had left the island, why couldn't he just steal the things causally during the time before the boat returned and then smuggle himself off? Or seeing how he had some major financial backing, why couldn't it be arranged for some Costa Rican fisherman to pop over on his boat and quietly sail back to land? All of these would have been better than switching off the power to all of the electric fences and going for a stroll through a dinosaur infested island. This is doubly stupid when you consider Dennis Nedry almost definitely smelled of fried food.
