Jurassic Park (12A) 4K Restoration + Presentation by Sandra Wachter

Science on Screen

A boy cowers away from dinosaurs

Life... finds a way; as things go terribly wrong in a Dinosaur theme park in the Academy Award-winning action adventure from director Steven Spielberg, with a mesmerizing score from John Williams.

When should scientists stop and think about the ethical implications of their work? As academia and industry work ever closer, the risk of private industry taking control becomes more acute. Professor Sandra Wachter (Professor of Technology and Regulation at the University of Oxford) will explore the ethics of science and innovation before a screening of this 90s classic.

Based on Michael Crichton’s 1990 science fiction novel of the same name, Jurassic Park allowed us to glimpse an exciting new world, where dinosaurs could be brought to life (both in this future reality, as well as on film). Featuring star turns from the likes of Richard Attenborough, Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum, audiences can be left in no doubt as to the authenticity of the freshly resurrected dinosaurs.
