1. Jurassic Park (1993)

The chronological order largely mirrors the release order, with the exception of the short films and Netflix series. Jurassic Park, adapted from Michael Crichton's novel, introduces the core concept: cloned dinosaurs populate a theme park on Isla Nublar, overseen by a reckless entrepreneur (Richard Attenborough). Paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill), paleobotanist Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) assess the park's safety alongside John Hammond's grandchildren. A storm and sabotage disable security, unleashing the dinosaurs and forcing a desperate escape.
