ing film ever. And it's expected to
break office records when it comes
to West Swindon's MGM theatre on
16 July.
Actors Sam Neill and Sir Richard
Attenborough share top billing but
the real stars are the dinosaurs, the
monsters which prey on visitors to
their theme park
Based on the sci-fi thriller by
Michael Crichton,Jurassic Park tells
the story of how a mad millionaire
revives the most terrifying creatures
ever to walk the earth.
He does this by discovering per-
fectly preserved insects which fed
on dinosaur blood tens of millions
of years ago and taking tiny samples
of geneticmaterial fromthe blood to
clone and grow a new race of dino-
saurs for all to see.
The film takes a nail-biting turn
when the 20th century dinosaurs go
berserk and turn on a group of 20
people who are trapped on an is- HOLIDAY
land theme park with them.
The creatures, created on film by FILM FUN
