1993年改編電影，至今仍是金獎大導演史蒂芬史匹柏迄今最賣座系列的經典電影之一

野心勃勃的資本家立志在一座島上，打造建立名為「侏羅紀公園」的神奇樂園，他將眾多科學家收納聚集，利用琥珀裡的遠古蚊子的血液，提取出恐龍的基因培殖恐龍，讓億萬年前從地球上消失的巨大恐龍重返人間。 

他雖然如願以償的成功建立一座恐龍公園，但此舉卻擾亂自然萬物的運行，也帶來一場無法收拾的災禍，當公園裡的電腦管理系統被破壞之後，所有的恐龍紛紛逃出控制區，人們卻躲不過這群遠古生物的肆虐，自相殘殺的恐龍與死傷慘重的人類哀鴻遍野，剩下屈指可數的幾名人類逃竄而出，讓島上因此瀰漫恐怖氣息...... 

From the author of Timeline, Sphere, and Congo, this is the classic thriller of science run amok that took the world by storm.
 
An astonishing technique for recovering and cloning dinosaur DNA has been discovered. Now humankind’s most thrilling fantasies have come true. Creatures extinct for eons roam Jurassic Park with their awesome presence and profound mystery, and all the world can visit them—for a price.
 
Until something goes wrong. . . .
 
In Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton taps all his mesmerizing talent and scientific brilliance to create his most electrifying technothriller.
Michael Crichton was born in Chicago and was graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University. At twenty-three, Crichton was a visiting lecturer in anthropology at Cambridge University, England. Upon his return to the States, Crichton began training as a doctor, and was graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1969. He paid his way through medical school by writing pseudonymous thrillers, one of which (A Case of Need, 1968) won an Edgar Award. By the time he graduated, Crichton had already written a bestseller (The Andromeda Strain, 1969) and sold it to Hollywood. He then pursued postgraduate studies at the Salk Institute in California before taking up writing full time.

Crichton has written ten novels -- The Andromeda Strain, 1969; The Terminal Man, 1972; The Great Train Robbery, 1975; Eaters of the Dead, 1976; Congo, 1980; Sphere, 1987; Jurassic Park, 1990; Rising Sun, 1992; Disclosure, 1994; and The Lost World, 1995 -- each of which displays an intimate knowledge of a different, specialist subject, among them primatology, neurobiology, biophysics, international economics, Nordic history and genetics. He has directed six movies, including Westworld, Coma, and The Great Train Robbery, and is the creator of the hit television seriesER (which won eight emmys in 1995). He is a computer expert who wrote one of the first books about information technology (Electronic Life, 1983); he has run a software company; he has designed a computer game called Amazon; is a committed collector of modern art and the author of a learned study on Jasper Johns (Jasper Johns, 1977). His other works of nonfiction include Five Patients: The Hospital Explained, 1970, and Travels, 1988. Crichton's novels have been translated into twenty-four languages; eight of his novels have been made into films, including Jurassic Park, one of the most successful films in motion picture history.

Michael Crichton  died in 2008.
