The plot centers around the fictional Isla Nublar, where billionaire industrialist John Hammond (played by Richard Attenborough) has created a theme park with cloned dinosaurs. A group of experts, including paleontologists Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), along with mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), is invited to tour the park. However, things go awry when the dinosaurs break free, leading to a fight for survival.
"Jurassic Park" received critical acclaim for its groundbreaking visual effects, thrilling storytelling, and John Williams' iconic musical score. The film was a massive commercial success and remains a cultural phenomenon. It led to several sequels, with "Jurassic World" (2015) being a direct continuation of the original narrative. The success of "Jurassic Park" also played a crucial role in advancing the use of CGI in filmmaking.
