Westworld Movie Review Summary

Actors: Yul Brynner, Richard Benjamin, James Brolin, Dick Van Patten

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Westworld


It should be a dream vacation for two Chicago men--instead,however,it ends up being a nightmare as they find themselves fighting to escape a vacation spot-turned-killing field where lifelike androids have flipped their circuits and are rubbing out the guests quicker than you can say "Gideon's Bible". A chilling commentary on how complacency about technology can have grim consequences.

The review of this Movie prepared by Chris Oakley




In the not-too-distant future, one of the great vacation escapes is run by Delos, which provides the following three fantasy settings peopled by highly realistic robots: Western World, which reproduces the Wild West; Medieval World, with a castle and sword fights; and Roman World, where one's every sybaritic desire may be fulfilled. (This being a 1973 film -- Michael Crichton's feature writing and directing debut -- we see very little of Roman World.) James Brolin and Richard Benjamin are two modern guys who enjoy themselves in Western World, until computer controls start to break down and the robots turn killers. The film's sets and dialogue are fairly cheesy, Benjamin is too weak to carry the film while Brolin mostly looks like he'd rather be elsewhere, but the concept is amusing, Brynner is wonderfully sinister, and there's a 1967 Playmate of the Month and a future wife of Gene Roddenberry among the supporting cast. An entirely different team (save for Brynner) made the sequel "Futureworld" three years later.
