Jurassic Park

Scientists discover the ability to bring extinct animals back to life via a complex cloning process. To make a profit off this technology, the company decides to build a theme park featuring living dinosaurs.




This in itself would not be such a bad idea, except the organizers rush to get it open, build it on a remote island, and have almost no security personnel, deciding to automate the whole thing with unreliable computers — even refusing to tell the software designer what the system is for.
Naturally, everything goes wrong. Repeatedly.




The book was written by Michael Crichton, while the 1993 movie was directed bySteven Spielberg. Both were insanely popular then and are considered modern classics now. The film is labeled as having one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in visual effects that changed movie-making. Despite going to great lengths to create extremely convincing animatronic dinosaurs, this was balanced with groundbreakingly realistic CGI ones. The CGI involved essentially killed the use of muppets and stop motion in modern film. Besides the requisite Hollywood mistakes, many paleontologists and dinosaur fanatics also loved it. The moment in the film where the characters first come across a dinosaur in full view and are just blown away, "...it's a dinosaur!" could be the new generation's equivalent to the Star Destroyer overhead from Star Wars.
Two sequels were made to the original film. While the second film shared the name of the second book The Lost World: Jurassic Park, (1997) it had a wildly different storyline. Jurassic Park III (2001) came out several years later. The same basic story exists in all of the films, only separated by what characters are involved and certain action scenes. There's also a computer-game tie-in,Trespasser.
