Discover or rewatch the ground-breaking 1993 action adventure, Jurassic Park, and feel every roar and scream on the big screen. Also available to watch in 35mm.

When eccentric industrialist John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) creates a theme park of cloned dinosaurs, he invites palaeontologists Alan (Sam Neill) and Ellie (Laura Dern), chaotician Ian (Jeff Goldblum) and his grandchildren to visit. Little does he know the terrible danger that's about to ensue because of a power failure that lets the intelligent, lethal creatures run loose.
