The franchise began with this adaptation of Michael Crichton’s bestselling novel, a sci-fi thriller about a rich mogul (Richard Attenborough’s John Hammond) who creates an island attraction filled with cloned dinosaurs. Director Steven Spielberg gives the movie a sense of grand adventure, balancing the human element via scientist characters played by Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum with the spectacle of attacking dinosaurs. One of the first major movies to use extensive CGI effects, Jurassic Park is a technical and narrative wonder.

Jurassic Park is streaming on HBO Max ($9.99+ per month) and Peacock Premium ($4.99+ per month).

Steven Spielberg returns to direct the only sequel he’s made outside the Indiana Jones franchise, loosely adapting Michael Crichton’s follow-up novel. Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough are the only main stars to reprise their roles, joining a cast that includes Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethewaite, and Vince Vaughn. John Hammond reveals the existence of a second island, where dinosaurs have been allowed to roam free. An expedition led by Goldblum’s Dr. Ian Malcolm travels to the island, attempting to stop plans to bring these dinosaurs to the mainland where they can wreak havoc.

Steven Spielberg bows out, replaced by director Joe Johnston for the first Jurassic Park movie not based directly on a Michael Crichton novel.

New additions to the cast include William H. Macy, Téa Leoni, and Alessandro Nivola, providing more fodder for the dangerous dinosaur attacks. Jurassic Park III closes out the original trilogy, leaving the franchise dormant for nearly 15 years.
