De fleste af os kender historien fra Steven Spielbergs ikoniske film af samme navn, men hvor anderledes er den originale bog egentlig fra blockbusterfilmen? Michael Crichtons tekno-thriler "Jurassic Park" er den utrolige fortælling om en amerikansk bioteknisk forskningsvirksomhed, der - takket være en utrolig nyfunden teknik - er i stand til at opstøve og klone DNA fra dinosaurer. Moderne teknologi gør det muligt at udleve menneskehedens største og vildeste drømme, og for virksomhedens ejer er denne drøm at skabe en forlystelsespark på en fjern Carribisk ø med ægte levende dinosaurer. De længe uddøde oldtidsøgler strejfer nu rundt i den unikke safaripark, Jurassic Park, hvor nysgerrige folk selv kan se de farlige væsner - for en tårnhøj pris. Men teknologiske vidundere kommer også med en høj pris. "Jurassic Park" er bogen, der avlede en film-serie, en gigantisk mediefranchise og en romanfortsættelse kaldet "The Lost World", som har påvirket og inspireret mennesker verden over siden 1990.
