Jurassic Park is a science fiction action film that began that involves dinosaurs being brought back to be exhibited in a wildlife park on the secluded island of Isla Nublar. It is based on the 1990 book of the same name, whose author Michael Chrichton co-wrote the feature film adaptation. It was another summer blockbuster released by Universal Pictures in 1993, becoming the highest grossing film of all time until it was surpassed by Titanic in 1997. It spawned two sequels (The Lost World: Jurassic Park in 1997 and Jurassic Park III in 2001), and a rebranding/sequel series called Jurassic World since 2015. It was directed by Steven Spielberg, its adventurous theme by John Williams, and groundbreaking visual effects by Industrial Light & Magic. One of the victims was played by Wayne Knight.

Similarly to Jaws, it has become highly imitative in both pop culture references and similar-looking thrillers
