U.S., 1973
Written and directed by Michael Crichton
With Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, James Brolin
Approx. 88 min. 35mm.
“James Brolin and Richard Benjamin are role-playing guests at an amusement park whose three historical fantasy lands—Roman World, Medieval World, and Western World—are staffed with humanoid robots eager to be fucked or killed. 'Nothing can go wrong,' purrs a voice on the public-address system at the beginning, so of course the robots malfunction and start murdering patrons. Yul Brynner reprises his gunslinger character from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN in cyborg form, methodically stalking Benjamin through all three locales.” – J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Reviews
“A sharp, far-reaching sci-fi that will be remembered for Brynner's monotone maniac and a classic premise; WESTWORLD is a thrilling What If?”
