“Westworld” is a story about a whole world with robotic (semi-human) people, created as a scientific experiment by two scientists. This virtual world has now become a top-dollar tourist attraction under the control of Dr Ford (played by Anthony Hopkins), the last remaining founder. These robotic humans are not really robots, as you would assume, but are quite human in likeness and feel. The ‘humans’ created by Dr Ford and Arnold prove to have a conscience through a programme added to them by Dr Ford called “reveries”. I love a story that gets you thinking and challenging your conscience, and this was all that and more.
