Michael Crichton wrote and directed this boldly satiric cautionary tale where theme parks cater to every male fantasy with robots tailor-making the generic backdrop of the customers’ formulaic dreams – including the recreation of an 1880s Wild West frontier town. Yul Brynner gives one of his most iconic performances as an armed and wickedly dangerous robot drone who potently symbolizes Crichton’s dark vision of a corporate future shaped by entertainment fantasy.
