Collection: Jurassic Park
"Jurassic Park" is a science fiction franchise that began with Michael Crichton's 1990 novel of the same name. The story was adapted into a groundbreaking film directed by Steven Spielberg, released on June 11, 1993. The plot centers on a billionaire, John Hammond, and a team of genetic scientists who create a wildlife park of cloned dinosaurs on Isla Nublar. The park's safety measures fail, leading to catastrophic consequences when the dinosaurs break free.
The original film was a massive success, praised for its revolutionary use of CGI and practical effects to bring the dinosaurs to life. It grossed over $1 billion worldwide and won three Academy Awards. The success of "Jurassic Park" spawned a franchise that includes five sequels: "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (1997), "Jurassic Park III" (2001), "Jurassic World" (2015), "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" (2018), and "Jurassic World Dominion" (2022). Each film explores the ongoing consequences of cloning dinosaurs, with the later films expanding the story to include new characters and themes.
