Hold on to your butts! In this episode of Better Remembered, we journey back to 1993 to revisit the groundbreaking action-thriller Jurassic Park. Directed by Steven Spielberg, this film follows a pragmatic paleontologist who finds himself in a race against time to protect two children on a tour of a nearly complete dinosaur theme park in Central America after a catastrophic power failure sets the park’s cloned dinosaurs free.
We dive into the thrilling world of Jurassic Park, exploring its mix of cutting-edge special effects and gripping storytelling. Along the way, we also take a closer look at the remarkable works of Michael Crichton, the mind behind this dino-classic and several other literary gems that have leaped from the page to the big screen.
Join us as we ask: is Jurassic Park even more epic than we remembered? Tune in to relive the roar and the wonder with us!
