April 15, 1994, and the world woke up to the never-seen-before sight and sound of the prehistoric dinosaurs onscreen. This American science fiction adventure film series based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton is centred on the fictional Isla Nublar near Costa Rica in the Central American Pacific Coast. It is here that a billionaire philanthropist and a small team of genetic scientists created an amusement park of cloned dinosaurs… and changed the world irrevocably!
Here’s revisiting the five films in the series…
Jurassic Park(1993)
A wealthy entrepreneur secretly creates a theme park featuring living dinosaurs drawn from prehistoric DNA. Before opening day, he invites a team of experts and his two eager grandchildren to experience the park and help calm anxious investors. However, the park is anything but amusing as the security systems go off-line and the dinosaurs escape.
