ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – WESTWORLD (1973)

 “Westworld” is a Sci-Fi Thriller, written and Directed by Michael Crichton.

The story takes place at Delos, an exclusive vacation resort, an amusement park for rich, where guests get the choice of Medieval World, Roman World or Westworld, to live out their fantasies through the use of robots that provide anything they want.

Two of the vacationers Peter Martin (Richard Benjamin) and John Blane (James Brolin) choose a wild west adventure, however, after a couple of days, a computer breakdown leads to a system wide malfunction, and they find that they are now being stalked by a rogue robot gunslinger (Yul Brynner).

A great movie of its time, although the technology dates it, but it is still very watchable and Brynner as the gunfighter is truly excellent.

To my chest and lean forward.

MY GREAT GRANDFATHER NEVER

 

My Great Grandfather never

Threw anything away in his decade

Which was a shame really

As he was killed by a hand grenade

And it is a real kiss and tell
