This collection includes the first, second, and third film from the groundbreaking Jurassic Park series.
JURASSIC PARK:
Steven Spielberg directed this blockbuster thriller based on the popular book by
Michael Crichton. Millionaire John Hammond (
Richard Attenborough) asks two dinosaur experts (
Laura Dern and
Sam Neill) to act as consultants on his entrepreneurial endeavor--an amusement park with DNA-cloned live dinosaurs as the main attraction. The paleontologists, along with a mathematician (
Jeff Goldblum) and Hammond's two grandchildren, take a run-through tour of the park. But soon the joyride turns to terror when an impending hurricane, an unscrupulous engineer (
Wayne Knight), and the rebelling dinosaurs begin to destroy the park. Featuring what were at the time spectacular special affects, the film's biggest star just may have been a computer-generated Tyrannosaurus Rex.
THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK: In this sequel to the original dinosaur thriller, Dr. Ian Malcolm (
Jeff Goldblum) returns for another of Hammond's expeditions four years after the disaster at the would-be amusement park. To document the natural behavior of the beasts at a mysterious Site B, Hammond sends a team comprising Malcolm; Malcolm's girlfriend, paleontologist Dr. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore); and a wildlife videographer (Vince Vaughn). They face adversity in the form of a less-than-scrupulous big-game hunter (Pete Postlethwaite) and, of course, the terrible lizards themselves.
JURASSIC PARK III: Special effects wiz Joe Johnston takes over Spielberg's director's chair for the third installment of the Jurassic Park series. Paleontologist Alan Grant (
Sam Neill) has sworn never to return to Jurassic Park. But he needs funding for his research, so when a wealthy thrill-seeking couple (William H. Macy and Téa Leoni) come calling, Grant and his protégée, Billy (Alessandro Nivola), agree to take them on a sightseeing flight. By the time Grant finds out what their true purpose is--to land on the island and search for their missing son--all of their lives are in peril. And Grant's newfound theory about raptor intelligence will have its deadly proof.
