The Festival continues on Saturday with a very influential film from 1973- WESTWORLD! 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝟭𝟬 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝘁 hiwaytheater.org/sciphi

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Before it became a hit tv series for HBO — WESTWORLD started as a futuristic sci-fi thriller written and directed by Michael Crichton (author of Jurassic Park) about a doomed adult theme park (sound familiar?). Role-playing guests visit three fantasy lands — Medieval World, Roman World, and West World — which are populated by life-like robots. Yul Brynner famously portrays the android gunslinger who ends up malfunctioning and starts murdering the park guests. Also starring Richard Benjamin and James Brolin.

The 2026 Sci-Phi Film Festival is sponsored by a generous grant courtesy of the Vesta Fund.
