Welcome to Westworld, where nothing can go wrong...go wrong...go wrong....Writer/director Michael Crichton has concocted a futuristic Disneyland for adults, a remote resort island where, for a hefty fee, one can indulge in ones wildest fantasies. Businessmen James Brolin and Richard Benjamin are just crazy about the old west, thus they head to the section of Westworld populated by robot desperadoes, robot lawmen, robot dance-hall gals, and the like. Benjamins first inkling that something is amiss occurs when, during a mock showdown with robot gunslinger Yul Brynner, Brolin is shot and killed for real. It seems that the nerve center of Westworld has developed several serious technical glitches: the human staff is dead, and the robots are running amok. Suddenly promoted to the films hero, Benjamin (who seems as surprised and shocked as the audience) must first avoid, then face down the relentless Brynner. Much of Westworld was lensed on the expansive grounds of the old Harold Lloyd estate in Beverly Hills, so its no surprise that theres something Lloydlike about Dick Benjamins instinct for self-preservation. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

"Yul Brinner goes Postal long before the term was coined!". WESTWORLD and it's similar World of which I am not going to name has plenty of action, romance (if you call it that!), and Scenes of "Terminator Horror" to add into the mix. So it's not for those who are "Squeamish" or the "Faint Hearted" who can't stand Scene's that are "Horrific", otherwise it worth the Admission back then in 1974 and this movie will go down as the "Last Cinematic Action of Yul Brinner" before his passing several years later.
