An industrialist invites experts to visit his theme park of cloned dinosaurs. After a power failure, the creatures run loose, putting everyone's lives, including his grandchildren's, in danger. As visitors struggle to survive, Jurassic Park becomes a meditation on scientific hubris and human vulnerability. Steven Spielberg creates a modern myth about nature’s refusal to be mastered. He balances awe and terror, grounding spectacle in suspense and character.
‘A thrilling reminder that wonder and fear are inseparable.’ -
Richard Corliss, Time
Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
