Jurassic Park

Thirty years ago, Steven Spielberg brought dinosaurs back to life. His Jurassic Park marked a revolution in special effects, and this adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel ranks among the most significant films ever made - and after three decades, it holds up remarkably well.

Billionaire John Hammond builds an amusement park on Isla Nublar filled with prehistoric creatures. With a Tyrannosaurus roaming the grounds and velociraptors lurking in the jungle, he invites experts to assess the park's safety and witness firsthand the results of his experiments with dinosaur DNA.

Initial fascination quickly turns to terror for survival. When the park loses power and its security systems fail, everyone realizes that resurrecting long-extinct monsters may not have been the best idea.
