"We have a landing strip up ahead..."
—Nash(src)


M.B. Nash was one of the mercenaries hired by Udesky to work for the Kirby family. He is a former master sergeant in some form of the U.S armed forces, according to his dog tags. He took Paul Kirby's satellite phone before he is devoured by the Spinosaurus.

Jurassic Park III[]

He was the airplane pilot who flew the plane with the Kirbys to find Eric Kirby on Isla Sorna. Nash told Paul that he had spotted a landing strip, which caused Alan Grant to get upset. Alan tried to get to the front of the plane, but another mercenary named Cooper knocked him out. When Alan woke up, they had already landed. Alan left the plane and told Paul to make Amanda stop using a Loudhailer to call for her son Eric and her boyfriend, Ben Hildebrand. When Amanda asked why, Nash and Udesky came running out of the jungle. Nash quickly ran inside the plane and started it up as the others got inside. When Billy Brennan asked about Cooper, Udesky replied, "Cooper's a professional! He can handle himself!"

As the plane was building up speed, Cooper came out of the jungle, nursing a wound to his arm. He screamed to the plane to stop, but Nash couldn't do anything about it as the plane was already speeding up on the runaway. Suddenly, a Spinosaurus came out of the jungle and grabbed Cooper in its jaws before devouring him quickly, much to Nash's complete shock as he is forced to pull the plane's controls to avoid a crash. Unfortunately, the plane clipped the Spinosaur's sail, cutting off its fuel line and sending it to crash into the jungle before getting lodged in a tree.

Nash asked for the satellite phone, and Paul gave it to him. This action kept everyone besides Amanda Kirby from noticing the Spinosaur approach the plane. It then proceeded to tear the cockpit off the plane. Udesky and Nash got out of their seats and tried to run to the back of the plane, but Nash tripped and was subsequently grabbed by his legs in the Spinosaur's jaws.

Screaming in terror, he pleaded the others to save him. Despite the efforts of the others trying to save Nash by pulling him back, the dinosaur was too strong for them. The creature shook Nash around in its jaws before dropping him to the ground. He tried to crawl away, but was stepped on and crushed to death by the Spinosaur's foot. The Spinosaurus then devoured his corpse.

Two days later, the remaining members of the group came across the pile of dung that Nash and Cooper's remains had become; they also found his watch, Cooper's sunglasses, a femur, and Mr. Kirby's satellite phone.

Production and development[]

In the first scripts of Jurassic Park III, it was thought that there would be a military attaché with an unknown name. Due to the few data that have been provided to the light, it can be assumed that this character would have evolved to become M.B. Nash.[1]

In an early script written by Buchman, Udesky is the one who is originally killed by the Spinosaurus in the airplane crash. He is yanked out after the Spino rips off the nose of the plane.[2]

Trivia[]

  • When the Spinosaurus is attacking the plane, Nash's shotgun on his back changes to a rifle, then back to a shotgun before he is killed.
  • Originally, Udesky was going to be killed in the initial Spinosaurus attack leaving Nash to be killed by the Velociraptors. Then, their roles were swapped.[citation needed]
  • One soundtrack in the film score was named "Nash Calling".
