Jurassic Park is a game-changer. Spielberg directed it in 1993. It turns Michael Crichton’s book into a wild ride. Dinosaurs come back to life in a theme park, thanks to some fancy gene work. Then, surprise! Everything goes haywire. Security fails. A bunch of visitors, scientists, kids and a millionaire must survive ancient monsters. It is a thrilling mix of science, ethics and nature’s big bite.

Meet the characters from Jurassic Park

Dr. Alan Grant

Oh man, Dr. Alan Grant is the ultimate dinosaur nerd! He’s like this no-nonsense, rugged paleontologist who’s super passionate about his work but also has this grumpy side that cracks me up. He’s not the biggest fan of kids, but you can see he has this soft spot when it comes to Lex and Tim. And remember that epic moment when he’s just trying to survive chaos while explaining how dinosaurs aren’t just big lizards? It’s like, dude, can you just chill for a second? Total legend!

Dr. Ian Malcolm

Okay, let’s talk about Dr. Ian Malcolm—he’s like the coolest mathematician ever, right? With that charming swagger and a knack for chaos theory, he’s got this sarcastic edge that just makes you want to laugh and shake your head at the same time. He’s the guy who’s all like, “I told you so,” but in the smoothest way possible—seriously, that part where he says, “Life finds a way”? Iconic! But here’s the kicker: he’s also got this surprisingly deep side, contemplating the implications of science on humanity. I mean, who knew a chaos theorist could be so philosophical?

John Hammond

Aww, John Hammond! He’s this adorable, slightly mad genius who just wants to share his dream of a dinosaur theme park with the world. Like, you can’t help but feel for him when he’s all excited about his creations, even if things go horribly wrong. He’s got that sweet old grandpa vibe, but don’t let that fool you—he’s totally blind to the dangers of his own ambition. And that moment when he says, “Welcome to Jurassic Park”? Pure magic! But then it’s like, dude, can you see the T-Rex in the background? Yikes!

Lex Murphy

Lex is such a fun character! She’s the spunky, tech-savvy kid who’s basically the heart of the group during all that dino madness. I mean, she starts out as this typical ‘girl who’s scared of everything,’ but she totally steps up when she needs to! Remember when she’s hacking into the park system? Epic! And just when you think she’s just a scared kid, she surprises you with her bravery. Seriously, she’s like the ultimate underdog, and I love how she brings that youthful energy to the story!

Ellie Sattler

Ellie’s such a badass! She’s this strong, intelligent scientist who’s not afraid to get her hands dirty—literally! I mean, she’s out there in the field, working with the dinosaurs, and she’s got this fierce determination that’s just so inspiring. Plus, she’s got this great dynamic with Alan Grant, which adds a nice layer to her character—like, are they more than colleagues? It’s never super clear, but you can totally feel the chemistry! And that moment when she faces off against the raptors? GOALS! She’s totally a queen in her own right!

Donald Gennaro

Donald Gennaro is like the ultimate corporate suit who’s just there to save his own skin, right? He’s all about the money and making sure the park runs smoothly, but you can totally tell he’s in over his head. I mean, he’s that guy who’s freaking out while everyone else is trying to deal with the dinosaurs—classic panic mode! And then there’s that hilarious scene where he’s just trying to negotiate his way out of trouble while the chaos unfolds around him. He’s funny in a cringe-worthy way, for sure. You can’t help but roll your eyes at him while secretly rooting for his survival!
