Michael Crichton’s first feature film is set a futuristic amusement park where visitors pay $1,000 a day to interact with androids at West World, Roman World, or Medieval World. Two friends, played by Richard Benjamin and James Brolin, chose West World, where they can face off with the Gunslinger (a wonderful Yul Brynner), whose gun is primed to never shoot at warm blooded animals.  Each day, one of them can face off with the Gunslinger, shoot him, dead, and meet him again the next day. However, the protagonists don’t know that the programming is breaking down and the androids in the entire park are malfunctioning–or are they rebelling? Examining human hubris, colonial fantasy, and the boundaries between human and machine,  this low-budget film follows in the footsteps of Hal 9000 to become a key film offering a critique of  technological overreach. Westworld was  the one of the first feature films to use digital image processing, in this case to simulate an android point of view
