Movie Synopsis
Jurassic Park (1993) is one of the most groundbreaking films in cinema history, combining revolutionary visual effects with thrilling storytelling to create a timeless adventure that continues to captivate audiences decades after its release. Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the bestselling novel by Michael Crichton, the film forever changed the landscape of blockbuster filmmaking and set new standards for visual effects, sound design and cinematic spectacle.
The story follows wealthy entrepreneur John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), who has secretly developed an extraordinary wildlife park on the remote island of Isla Nublar. Using preserved dinosaur DNA extracted from prehistoric mosquitoes trapped in amber, Hammond's team of genetic scientists has successfully cloned dinosaurs and brought long-extinct species back to life. Before opening the attraction to the public, Hammond invites a small group of experts to evaluate the park and endorse its safety.
The visitors include renowned palaeontologist Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill), palaeobotanist Dr Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), eccentric mathematician and chaos theory expert Dr Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), lawyer Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferrero), Hammond's grandchildren Lex (Ariana Richards) and Tim (Joseph Mazzello), along with the park's staff led by chief engineer Ray Arnold (Samuel L. Jackson) and game warden Robert Muldoon (Bob Peck).
Initially amazed by the scientific achievement of seeing living dinosaurs, the visitors soon discover that nature cannot be completely controlled. When computer programmer Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) sabotages the park's security systems in an attempt to steal dinosaur embryos for corporate espionage, the island descends into chaos. Electric fences fail, security collapses and the dinosaurs escape their enclosures, forcing the visitors into a desperate fight for survival.
Among the film's unforgettable moments are the terrifying escape of the Tyrannosaurus rex, the suspenseful encounters with the intelligent Velociraptors, and breathtaking scenes featuring peaceful giants such as the Brachiosaurus. Spielberg masterfully balances moments of awe with edge-of-your-seat suspense, creating a film that appeals equally to adventure fans, science fiction enthusiasts and families.
One of the reasons Jurassic Park became such an enduring classic was its revolutionary use of computer-generated imagery alongside life-sized animatronic dinosaurs created by Stan Winston's effects team. At the time of release, audiences had never witnessed such realistic digital creatures on screen. Combined with Spielberg's expert direction and John Williams' unforgettable orchestral score, the film delivered an immersive cinematic experience that redefined what audiences expected from modern filmmaking.
The screenplay, written by Michael Crichton and David Koepp, explores fascinating themes including genetic engineering, scientific responsibility, corporate ambition and humanity's attempt to control nature. Ian Malcolm's famous warning that scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could create dinosaurs that they never stopped to consider whether they should remains one of the film's most memorable philosophical ideas.
Upon its release in 1993, Jurassic Park became the highest-grossing film ever made at the time, winning three Academy Awards for its visual effects, sound mixing and sound editing. It launched one of Hollywood's most successful franchises while inspiring generations of filmmakers, scientists and dinosaur enthusiasts. Today it remains one of Spielberg's greatest achievements and is widely regarded as one of the finest adventure films ever produced.

While the industry does have a few condition rating standards, there is no movie poster condition rating system that has become the accepted standard world wide. This unfortunately makes condition terms vary from movie poster dealer to movie poster dealer. Terms like Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, seem to be universal to most condition rating standards, but most standards still lack definition about what and how many flaws/defects/damage defines a specific condition level. For more information on how Movie Posters Australia grades the condition of its movie posters, daybills, lobby cards and other ephemera please see out Movie Poster Condition and Grading page.
In the early days of cinema, posters were primarily hand-drawn and printed in various sizes, often tailored to fit the available space in theaters or promotional areas. In the United States, the "One Sheet" size (some times called '1 Sheet' or '1SH' approximately 27" x 41", became the standard during the 1930s. This size was manageable for theater display and suited the needs of a growing film industry.
Different countries developed their own poster sizes and styles, which also changed sometimes over the decades, and were influenced by local preferences and practical considerations, like available paper sheet sizes and how many posters could be printed on one sheet.
In Australia, the most popular size, the Daybill, has evolved over the decades. Australian Daybills sizes in chronological order are:
- Long Daybills (15" x 40"), from 1920's to pre-WW2 or pre-1941, were printed two to a sheet, longer than current Daybill versions. There were size variances in width from 14.5" to 15" and in height from 39.5" to 40".
- War Time Daybill (10" x 30"), during WW2, for a short time to conserve paper during a war time shortage, four Daybills were printed on one sheet. Information from Press Sheets also referred to these War-Time sizes as "New Size Daybills".
- Post-War Daybill (13" x 30"), this 13" x 30" Post-War size carried through until the 1980's, but also varied in size from 13"-14" x 29.75"-30.25".
- Post-80's Daybill (33cm x 66cm, or 13" x 26"), over a few years in the late 80's, the size changed again to a metric 33cm x 66cm, although these have also varied from 32-33cm x 64.5-66cm. New sizes from the late 80's were created, sometimes called a Mini Daybill or Mini Poster, in 9" x 12", 11" x 17" and 13" x 20".
In the UK, the somewhat unique 'Quad' poster, measuring 30" x 40", became popular, offering a larger landscape format that allowed for more elaborate designs.
In Japan, movie poster sizes were smaller, such as the "B2" (20" x 28"), which suited the more compact living environment of larger cities, smaller advertising spaces, and unique aesthetic sensibilities.
The 1970s and 1980s, witnessed the rise of the "six-sheet" (81" x 81") format, reflecting a trend towards larger and more visually impactful advertising.
Overall, the variation in movie poster sizes across different countries and decades highlights the interplay between technological printing advancements, paper resource availability, paper sheet size changes, cultural preferences, and the evolving nature of movie marketing.
At Movie Posters Australia we tag each poster we sell with a 'size' and 'condition' description at the very top of the page for our customers to easily see. There may however be some slight variations to sizes by up one inch due to variations in production and guillotine methods by printers over the decades.
