The story is set on Isla Nublar, a remote island off the coast of Costa Rica, where billionaire industrialist John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has built Jurassic Park—a zoological park that features living, breathing dinosaurs. To ensure the park’s safety and legitimacy, Hammond invites a group of experts, including paleontologists Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) to tour the park and evaluate its potential. Hammond’s dream of creating a revolutionary attraction quickly unravels when a power failure caused by the park’s unscrupulous employees leads to the release of the dinosaurs, throwing the island into chaos.
What follows is a thrilling survival story as the characters are hunted by various species of dinosaurs, including the terrifying T. rex and the cunning Velociraptors. The central focus of Jurassic Park is the moral question of playing God with nature. Hammond’s desire to create a living, breathing theme park with genetically resurrected dinosaurs represents the unchecked ambition and arrogance of human beings. As the park spirals out of control, it becomes clear that humans cannot fully control nature, no matter how advanced their technology.
