Westworld
Blu Ray
Region B
New & Sealed
In 1973, novelist-turned-filmmaker Michael Crichton made his directorial debut with Westworld,
a groundbreaking fusion of science fiction and action-thriller that
would prove decades ahead of its time, laying the groundwork for his
later hit Jurassic Park and changing the face of sci-fi.
Welcome
to Delos, the futuristic resort where, for $1,000 a day, wealthy
vacationers can live out their wildest fantasies in hyper-realistic
theme parks. In the Old West zone, friends Peter (Richard Benjamin) and
John (James Brolin) saddle up for adventure, unaware that their dream
holiday is about to turn into a nightmare. When a malfunction sends the
park’s android hosts off script, the Gunslinger (Yul Brynner, in his
iconic black-clad role) begins a relentless pursuit, obliterating the
line between simulation and survival.
Slick, suspenseful, and eerily prescient, Westworld
combines a gripping man-versus-machine chase with thought-provoking
questions about technology, control, and the price of playing God.
Packed with atmosphere and memorable performances, this cult classic
remains a landmark in genre cinema – a high-tech nightmare that never
loses its bite.
