Pictures are bringing Spielberg's revolutionary 1993
action-adventure film back to movie theaters nationwide this
September.

who showcase both their passion for the prehistoric adventure and
their boundless ingenuity, making this event a celebration both of

A defining pop-culture milestone of the 1990s, "Jurassic
Park" is based on the best-selling novel by Michael Crichton, with a screenplay by
Crichton and David
Koepp. The film utilized digital visual effects in ways
moviegoers had never seen before. Actors Sam Neill and Laura Dern star as paleontologists
Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler, who, along with mathematician
Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are selected to tour an
island theme park populated by cloned dinosaurs created from
prehistoric DNA. While the park's mastermind, billionaire
John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that
the facility is safe, they quickly find out otherwise when the
predators break free and go on the hunt.
"Jurassic Park" also stars Ariana Richards, Joseph Mazzello, Wayne Knight, Martin Ferrero, BD Wong,
Bob Peck and Samuel L. Jackson. Winner of three Academy
Awards® – including Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing and Best
Visual Effects the film was largely shot on location in
Kauai, Hawaii, and features an
iconic musical score by composer John
Williams.
"'Jurassic Park' is a watershed achievement, a grand
adventure, and a cinematic event all rolled into one," said
Tom Lucas, Fathom Events VP of
Studio Relations. "Fathom Events is tremendously proud to
work with Universal Pictures to celebrate the movie's
quarter-century milestone by presenting it, once again, on the big
