Jurassic Park
Steven Spielberg's 1993 adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel follows a Costa Rican dinosaur park that collapses once its systems, and its owner's judgement, both fail during a single act of sabotage. Combining Stan Winston's animatronics with Industrial Light & Magic's early computer-generated dinosaurs on a budget reported as either $56 or $63 million, it grossed over $914 million on its original release, briefly the highest-grossing film ever made, and won three Academy Awards for its sound and visual effects.
