In May 1997 the Mercedes-Benz M-Class stood in the footlights: the brand-new vehicle not only was driven by stars, but became a star itself in Steven Spielberg’s movie “Lost World”, the sequel to his box-office hit “Jurassic Park”. The Sport Utility Vehicle, manufactured in the Mercedes-Benz Tuscaloosa plant, rescues the movie’s heroes in the face of attacks by voracious dinosaurs.
