Live out your fantasies for $1,000 a day at Westworld — the ultimate resort!
Here we have an amusement park full of robots programmed to fulfill every fantasy. Then something goes terribly wrong and the robots start killing tourists.
Murder, violence, wild sexual abandon, any human desire is fulfilled by totally computerized, humanoid robots programmed for your pleasure alone…Until a small computer casualty spreads like wildfire and one man stands alone against the berserk machines bent on total slaughter!
Sometime in the near future a high-tech, highly realistic adult amusement park called Delos features androids that are almost indistinguishable from human beings. For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any fantasy, including killing or having sex with the androids. One of the attractions in WestWorld is the Gunslinger, a robot programmed to start duels. Thanks to its programming, humans can always outdraw the Gunslinger and kill it.
Peter Martin, a first-timer, and his friend John Blane, who has visited previously, visit WestWorld. Gradually, the technicians running Delos begin to notice problems spreading like an infection among the androids. And then the problems really start.
The original screeplay based on which the two movies and the 2016 TV series were made.
