John Hammond Was 'Jurassic Park's Real Monster
Richard Attenborough's iconic Jurassic Park character was the real monster all along. Here's why.
When Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park premiered in theaters 30 years ago, it created a cinematic franchise that has maintained a devoted cult following to this day. The original movie takes place in an island theme park that houses genetically recreated dinosaurs and is in its final stages before opening. Unfortunately, the park is facing a high-profile lawsuit due to the death of one of its workers, which prompts an investigation from the insurance companies and its investors. For the park to clear the lawsuit and be granted an opening date, mastermind entrepreneur, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), must seek out the opinions of paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill), paleobotanist Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), some of the top experts in their fields, who can provide the probability of things going array. It seems like a sure-footed plan, but, of course, things don't go well. The dinosaurs get loose and Hammond's dream of giving families an amazing theme park goes to shambles.
