WESTWORLD
Welcome to Westworld, where nothing can go wrong...go wrong...go
wrong....Writer/director Michael Crichton has concocted a futuristic "Disneyland for
adults", a remote resort island where, for a hefty fee, one can indulge in one's wildest
fantasies. Businessmen James Brolin and Richard Benjamin are just crazy about the
old west, thus they head to the section of Westworld populated by robot
desperadoes, robot lawmen, robot dance-hall gals, and the like. Benjamin's first
inkling that something is amiss occurs when, during a mock showdown with robot
gunslinger Yul Brynner, Brolin is shot and killed for real. It seems that the "nerve
center" of Westworld has developed several serious technical glitches: the human
staff is dead, and the robots are running amok. Suddenly promoted to the film's hero,
Benjamin, must first avoid, then face down the relentless Brynner.
