Steven Spielberg's phenomenally successful Oscar-winning adventure thriller follows two dinosaur experts, Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), who are invited by eccentric millionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) to preview his new amusement park on an island off Costa Rica.
By cloning DNA harvested from prehistoric insects, Hammond has been able to create living dinosaurs for his new "Jurassic Park", a huge animal preserve housing real Triceratops, Dilophosaurs, Brachiosaurs, Velociraptors, and a Tyrannosaur Rex.
Accompanied by cynical chaos theory scientist Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), and Hammond's two grandchildren (Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello), they are sent on a tour through the new resort in computer-controlled touring cars.
But as a tropical storm hits the island knocking out the power supply and an unscrupulous employee (Wayne Knight) sabotages the system for his own nefarious needs, the dinosaurs start to take over with terrifying consequences.
Jurassic Park is a Film programme that first aired in 1993 and has been classified a PG certificate.
