12 Most Iconic Moments In Jurassic Park Franchise History

After Ellie is quite miraculously reunited with Alan, Lex, and Tim, they are hunted throughout the Jurassic Park visitors centre by the Velociraptor pack. The huge, museum like room, highlighted by a life size T-Rex skeleton and "When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth" banner that we had seen earlier in the movie became the stage for its conclusion.

The scene is wonderfully chaotic, as the four visitors are forced to climb on the huge T-Rex bones, and are ultimately scattered each on a different part of the skeleton, before finding themselves surrounded by the most dangerous creatures on the entire island.

In what was nothing short of a miracle, literally a fraction of a second before the raptors sunk their teeth into their prey, they were saved by their old adversary, the T-Rex, who elected to target the pack of smaller dinosaurs rather than the humans.

Though this was something of a deus ex machina that came out of absolutely nowhere, it is one of the most memorable moments from the entire movie, and the wonderful irony of being saved by the same T-Rex that nearly killed them all earlier is certainly not lost on anyone.
