Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg, is a thrilling adventure that follows paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), along with mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), as they tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. The park’s mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that the facility is safe, but visitors soon learn otherwise when various wild predators break out and go on the hunt.
In case of inclement weather, the movie will be moved indoors. The Hancock Historical Museum invites everyone to bring their lawn chairs, enjoy the activities and have a great time at this special outdoor movie night.
