Westworld is an incredibly influential early film from sci-fi author and filmmaker Michael Crichton. Films as diverse as Halloween, The Terminator and Crichton’s own Jurassic Park owe visual and plot elements to the film (the unstoppable opponent who seems to die and comes back again and again after each time he’s “stopped”, the robotic killer’s POV shots, and the theme park built with SCIENCE! that goes terribly wrong, respectively). The film doesn’t quite fit into the category it’s often lumped into-the early 1970s dystopian sci-fi films cycle that included films like Soylent Green and Rollerball. Westworld’‘s world building is limited to the speculation needed for the central conceit: what if the trend in amusement park rides towards audio-animatronic figures and immersive environments pioneered by Walt Disney led to a theme park that placed guests in “perfect” replicas of past times, complete with robot doubles nearly identical to humans?
