Jurassic Park is a 1993 American film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Michael Crichton and David Koepp, based on Crichton's 1990 novel. Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough, the film is set on the fictional island of Isla Nublar where industrialist John Hammond (Attenborough) and a team of genetic scientists have created a wildlife park of de-extinct dinosaurs. After a catastrophic shutdown of the park's power facilities and security precautions, a small group of visitors struggle to survive and escape the island.
