We develop a dynamical theory, based on a system of ordinary differential equations describing the motion of particles which reproduces the results of quantum mechanics. The system generalizes the Hamilton equations of classical mechanics to the quantum domain, and turns into them in the classical limit $\hbar\rightarrow 0$. The particles' motions are completely determined by the initial conditions. In this theory, the wave function $\psi$ of quantum mechanics is equal to the exponent of an action function, obtained by integrating some Lagrangian function along particle trajectories, described by equations of motion. Consequently, the equation for the logarithm of a wave function is related to the equations of motion in the same way as the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is related to the Hamilton equations in classical mechanics. We demonstrate that the probability density of particles, moving according to these equations, should be given by a standard quantum-mechanical relation, $\rho=|\psi|^2$. The theory of quantum measurements is presented, and the mechanism of nonlocal correlations between results of distant measurements with entangled particles is revealed. In the last section, we extend the theory to particles with nonzero spin.
