"In a near future, the Delos Company offers the vacation of the future in in the amusement parks Medievalworld, Romanworld and Westworld for U$ 1,000 per day. The vacationers get to experience life in the themed period, doing whatever he or she wants, interacting with the robot inhabitants that populate the parks. Peter Martin and John Blane travel by hovercraft to Westworld and soon Peter duels against a Gunslinger. However, when there is a malfunctioning of the machinery, the robots get out of control, jeopardizing the guests."
I saw this as a kis and it gave me the heebee-geebez! Yul Brynner's menacing stalking and clack clacking as he walks along the corridors, the final confontration. Written and directed by Michael "Jurrasic Park" Crichton, I was looking up facts about this movie and it says it's the first movie to use cgi, albeit
"The first use of computer digitized images as part of a feature film (not merely monitor graphics) was the Gunslinger's point of view in Westworld. After the process was finally developed enough to produce satisfactory results, it took a mere eight hours to produce each ten seconds of footage for the Gunslinger's pixelated POV."
I haven't seen this film in a hot minute though so I will have to see if it's available to me anywhere to watch again.
