Steven Spielberg’s classic sci-fi film Jurassic Park — starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Ariana Richards, Joseph Mazzello and Richard Attenborough — turned 30 on Sunday. The Academy shared a set of never-seen-before behind-the-scenes photos from the sets of the 1993 blockbuster to mark its 30th release anniversary. Take a look.
