Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and the first of the Jurassic Park
franchise. It is based on the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael
Crichton, with a screenplay by Crichton and David Koepp. It stars Sam
Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Ariana Richards,
Joseph Mazzello, Martin Ferrero, Samuel L. Jackson and Bob Peck. The
film centers on the fictional Isla Nublar near Costa Rica's
Pacific Coast, where a billionaire philanthropist and a small team of
genetic scientists have created a wildlife park of cloned dinosaurs.
Before Crichton's book was published, four studios put in bids to
acquire the film rights. Spielberg, with the backing of Universal
Studios,
acquired the rights for $1.5 million before publication in 1990, and
Crichton was hired for an additional $500,000 to adapt the novel for the
screen. David Koepp wrote the final draft, which left out much of the
novel's exposition and violence and made numerous changes to the
characters. Filming took place in California and Hawaii.
Jurassic Park is regarded as a landmark in the use of computer-generated imagery. It received positive reviews from most critics,
and is regarded by some as being one of the greatest science fiction
films ever made. The film grossed over $900 million worldwide,
surpassing another Spielberg film, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, to become the highest-grossing film released up to that time (it was surpassed four years later by Titanic).
It currently ranks as the eighteenth highest grossing film worldwide,
and 15th-highest-grossing film in North America, unadjusted for
inflation. It is the highest-grossing film released by Universal and
directed by Spielberg. Jurassic Park won 3 Academy Awards for Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Visual Effects.
The film's success led to the creation of two sequels: The Lost World: Jurassic Park also directed by Spielberg, which was released on May 23, 1997, and Jurassic Park III, directed by Joe Johnston, which was released on July 18, 2001. A 3D re-release was released on April 5, 2013, to commemorate the movie's 20th Anniversary. Jurassic Park 4 was originally scheduled to be released on June 13, 2014,but has re-entered development with no current release date.
