Product Description:
For $1000 a day vacationers can indulge whims at the theme park called Westworld. They can bust up a bar or bust out of jail drop in on a brothel or get the drop on a gunslinger. It's all safe: the park's lifelike androids are programmed never to harm the customers. But not all droids are getting with the program. Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park Twister) wrote and made his directing debut with this futuristic thriller that heralded moviemaking's future as the first feature to use digitized images. Richard Benjamin and James Brolin portray pals confronted by a simulated reality turned real. And Yul Brynner is their stalking spur-jangling nemesis. It's man versus machine - in a tomorrow that isn't big enough for the both of them.Running Time: 92 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569506725

Welcome to Delos, the high-tech Disneyland for adults that Michael Crichton created for Westworld, a nifty science fiction thriller from 1973 that also marked the popular novelist's feature-film directorial debut. The movie is so named because the vacationing buddies who travel to Delos (James Brolin, Richard Benjamin) choose Westworld as their destination (the other choices being Roman World and Medieval World), where they are free to indulge their movie-inspired fantasies of the Wild West. From brothel beauties to black-hatted gunslingers (like the villain played by Yul Brynner), the place is populated by perfectly humanlike robots programmed and monitored to cater to every guest's fancy. But fun turns into abject horror when the robots--particularly Brynner's badman--begin to malfunction and Delos turns into an amusement park that's anything but amusing. Westworld has moments of camp and the look of a low-budget backlot production, but two decades before Crichton revamped his idea to create Jurassic Park, this movie made the most of its interesting and exciting premise. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Westworld
Yul Brynner is relentless as the western gunshooter robot gone out of control. Great sci-fi type movie for all ages.
Rating: - Better than remembered!
I loved this movie, and when I saw it was available, bought it. My husband who never saw it loved it too. It's a classic!!!
Rating: - A Great Sci-Fi Classic
This movie is pure fun from beginning to end. A sci-fi flick with a western theme. A great film that has been copied time and again with less than stellar results. See the original, the borderline-masterpiece that started a whole new genre. Recommended!
Rating: - I saw this movie!
If you saw "The Terminator", it began here. "Westworld" is really good and gave the people in Hollywood another movie idea to steal from. This is a great movie especially, if you like originals.
