"In June 1993, director Steven Spielberg released a film that unleashed a wave
of technological change in film-making and simultaneously helped to revive
popular interest in dinosaurs.
Jurassic Park, based on Michael Crichton’s novel, spawned five blockbuster
sequels as well as a multitude of spin-off games, toys, novels, and multiple
animated television shows. It features a theme park housing de-extincted
dinosaurs that break out of their confines and cause havoc.
Underpinning the plot is clever genetic engineering that has allowed the Park’s
scientists to assume they could control all aspects of the dinosaurs’
development, including their sex, much to their later horror when it becomes
apparent such control was never possible.
The film franchise has taken an average of over $1 billion dollars at the box
office, according to
Variety."
