Steven Spielberg's blockbuster Jurassic Park was released in US theaters June 11, 1993 and set box-office records across the world. Based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name, the movie follows a billionaire's attempt to regenerate dinosaurs on an isolated island.
What could possibly go wrong?
Jurassic Park starred Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jeff Goldblum. It became the highest grossing film at that time. It reached $100M in a record nine days. It was the first film to gross over $500M overseas.
Jurassic Park won three Academy Awards: Bet Sound, Best Sound Effects, and Best Visual Effects. Since it was a mix of science fiction and horror, it could not be nominated for Best Picture or any of the acting awards. Spielberg won Best Directing but for Schindler's List, a drama film.
Jurassic Park did not receive any Golden Globe awards because the science fiction adventure did not align "with the types of films that were often nominated" for Golden Globes.
It won four Saturn Awards: Steven Spielberg for Best Direction, Best Science Fiction Film, Best Special Effects, and Best Writing. Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Wayne Knight, Joseph Mazzello, and Arian Richards were nominated for their work. John Williams was nominated for Best Music, and Jurassic Park received a nomination for Best Costumes.
John Williams was also nominated for a Grammy Award for his original score.
