Yes, that is sufficient time - however only if you stay airside! Terminals 2/3 at LAX are NOT connected airside to the Tom Bradley International Terminal (AKA TBIT, or simply terminal B).

Re: 1 hour layover at LAXIf your first flight arrives on time, then your extra 30 minutes before boarding begins can be put to good use...for that sandwich fish taco from Wahoo's ??. If you are content to just make the flight, 1 hour is fine.
What is the recommended layover time for international flights? International flights require longer connections as you will often have to go through immigration and customs upon arrival. For international layover flights booked on one airline, two hours is often recommended to make your connection.
If your itinerary was purchased as one ticket (as in: you have only one itinerary and one confirmation number), and the connection time was too short and you miss the second (or third) flight, you can rest easy, no matter what happens. The airline will simply put you onto the next available flight, free of charge.
The recommended layover time for international flights is generally longer, as you will have to go through customs and immigration before boarding your next flight. In most cases, a 30-minute layover for domestic flights and an hour for international flights is considered a minimum, or short, layover.
If you miss your connection booked with the same airline that your were on for your first flight, and the issue is due to a delayed take off or anything else that's in the hands of your airline, it's the airline's responsibility to rebook you on the next available flight.
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the fourth busiest airport in the world and second busiest in the United States, based on number of passengers. In 2018, 78.5 million passengers used LAX.
It takes about 5 minutes to walk between each terminal, but there are caveats. If you land in Terminals 1, 2, or 3 and have to get to any other terminal in LAX, you'll have to exit security, walk (or take a shuttle) to your connecting terminal, and re-clear security.
Is LAX hard to navigate? As with most major airports around the world, navigating through LAX can often be a nightmare. Traffic, long security lines, extensive check-in lines, and connecting flights when the terminals are on opposite sides of the airport are just a few of the challenges that passengers face at LAX.
Yes, a security check is mandatory when you take a connecting flight. This is because there is a time lag between getting off one aeroplane and getting on-board another to reach your destination.
How long does it take to get from international terminal to domestic terminal at LAX? International Terminal B is linked to Terminal 4 with an above-ground connector tunnel that has moving walkways. It takes around 5 to 8 minutes to walk between each terminal.
So, the only way to reach Terminal 4 is to either walk or use the shuttle bus to reach the shuttle bus. Walking or taking the shuttle to Terminal 4 requires you to exit security. So, you will have to re-clear security on reaching Terminal 4. Ideally, walking from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 takes around 20 minutes.
Now, LAX is comprised of over 2,950 acres of active airport and 700 acres of additional airport-owned land including the El Segundo Dunes and the LAX Northside Area. The runways at LAX were built to embrace the jet age of the 1960s. Since then, aircraft have grown much larger in size and weight.

If you have a layover and both flights are part of the same itinerary and booked on a single ticket, you typically do not need to check in again. Your checked baggage is usually tagged through to your final destination, and you would proceed directly to your connecting gate after going through security.
Not all the time. When you arrive at the transit point, you can often run to the connecting flights if you have a short transit time. The baggage, on the other hand, has to travel through the massive baggage handling systems to go for the connecting flights.
