Every Jurassic Park film has at least one greedy businessman who concocts some ridiculous plot to make a profit off John Hammond's cloned dinosaurs. However, there's no question that Eli Mills from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has the dumbest plan in the franchise.

When scientists discover Isla Nublar's volcano is about to erupt, the inhabiting dinos are set to be transferred to a new sanctuary. However, Mills uses the opportunity to transport the prehistoric lizards to a secret facility, where they are auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Although these ancient creatures are pricey, Mills' expects to make a fortune on one in particular; the Indoraptor. Mills believes this genetically modified raptor will be popular with the military, since it's designed to attack any target that's shot with a "pulse-coded laser."

But if a person has the time to hit a target with a pulse-coded laser, wouldn't it be easier to shoot them a regular gun? That way, you don't need to go through the trouble of creating and training a volatile hybrid dinosaur.

Unsurprisingly, no one is able to control the dinosaurs moments after the auction begins, resulting in Mills being eaten.
