20 Movies Where The Hero Winning DIDN'T Matter

He may have been everyone's favourite loveable grandad, but John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) is unequivocally the villain of the entire Jurassic franchise. Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with good intentions, as Sam Neill's Alan Grant once told his young protégé Billy (Alessandro Nivola), likely with Hammond's actions in mind at the time.

The man brought dinosaurs back to life from extinction, something that was never going to be contained to one small island, affecting just a small number of people. This was always going to be a game changer across the globe.

Yes, the likes of Hammond and Grant, along with Ian Malcolm and Ellie Sattler (Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern) were able to escape Isla Nublar with their lives, but the damage had been done. You can't put the genie back in the bottle as it were, and as Ian Malcolm so eloquently put it, life finds a way.

Particularly with the fact that multiple further dino-inhabited islands have been introduced in the years since 1993, and the fact that greed is one of the most powerful motivators in history, there were always going to be adventurers and businessmen looking to exploit the animals for their own personal reasons, resulting in an inevitable damage and further loss of life. Grant and co. may have bettered the dinos that day when they escaped, but it was a victory that wasn't going to last long.
