Westworld

Michael Crichton · 1973 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A resort sells three historical worlds at a thousand dollars a day, where guests drink, shoot and sleep with androids that cannot harm them while technicians collect the damaged units each night. Two businessmen pick the western park, and a black-clad gunslinger keeps drawing on one of them. Crichton directed his own script, which used the first digitally processed images shown in a feature.
