Sun 25 July 2:30pm Steven Spielberg‘s award-winning dino-spectacular ripped up the rule book for blockbusters in 1993 and things have never been the same since. Welcome to Jurassic Park! Palaeontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neil) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park home to dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park’s mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone the facility is safe, the visitors soon realise they are in danger when the park’s ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt.
