Jurassic Park, released in 1993, has had a massive and enduring cultural impact, still holding the title as Spielberg's highest-grossing movie. A pivotal character in the film, Dr. Ian Malcolm, portrayed the skepticism rooted in chaos theory, emphasizing the dangerous unpredictability of complex systems. Malcolm's character highlights the hubris in believing that humans could control nature to the extent of managing a theme park with resurrected dinosaurs. His cautionary statements about unpredictability and complexity in life serve as a critical lens in understanding the enduring influence of Jurassic Park and its exploration of chaos theory.
