1. Jurassic Park (1993)

Adapting Michael Crichton's novel, Jurassic Park introduces the series' core concept: cloned dinosaurs, extracted from prehistoric mosquitoes, populate a theme park on Isla Nublar, orchestrated by a visionary entrepreneur (Richard Attenborough). Paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill), paleobotanist Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) arrive to assess the park's safety, joined by Lex and Tim Murphy, the grandchildren of John Hammond. A storm and sabotage cut power, unleashing the dinosaurs and turning the tour into a thrilling escape from velociraptors and a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
