Jurassic Park pitted the likes of Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm, and Ellie Sattler against the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar, but there is no doubt that the true antagonists of the iconic movie are humans. Dennis Nedry ultimately set the dinosaurs free, all while looking to steal embryos for Lewis Dodgson.

Dodgson's character is fleshed out far more in Michael Crichton's novels, particularly The Lost World, as a ruthless and vicious man who isn't above murder to get his company ahead. It may be that his plan in Jurassic Park was more than just sending Nedry to catch Biosyn up with InGen's research, he may have actually calculated to destroy John Hammond's company altogether.

This theory suggests that Dodgson could have had Nedry steal the embryos from the island at any time, but he chose specifically when the park had visitors. Should anything have gone wrong on that weekend, then the park, and likely InGen itself, would be no more.

Dodgson could have planned for the security systems to go down altogether, rather than just the few that Nedry needed, resulting in loose dinosaurs almost certainly in the fatalities that would eventually shut down Jurassic Park before it even opened. In doing this, he not only robbed InGen of the attraction that would have brought in billions of dollars, he took out his competition, allowing Biosyn to blossom into the huge corporation it became by Jurassic World: Dominion.
