I can really identify with finding Ian Malcolm as inspirational for the positive sides of science. In Jurassic Park the contrast between the do-er scientists (those engineering the dinosaurs) and the think-er scientists (the more abstract theoretical scientist) was pretty starkly and, now that I've been working for a while, correctly portrayed in exposing the motivations those two classes of folks will tend to be working.
If science is a career to acquire cash then it's quite easy to get compromised into focusing on the wrong motivations even if your intentions are quite pure - abstract fields tend to be rather "useless" and thus the same influencing power and money isn't available leading those folks to have a much clearer ability to ethically reason about problems. When you've got co-workers depending on a project going forward to keep a roof over their heads it's a lot easier to compromise morals.
