“Westworld” was originally based on the 1973 movie starring Yu Brynner, the series quickly moved beyond its cinematic roots into the world of role playing games and overlapping storylines before moving outside the walls of the park into the real world in Season 3. Season 4, returning to HBO on June 26, feels inspired by both the 1976 feature film sequel “Futureworld” and “The Matrix” as the characters (and the audience) struggle to determine what’s real and what’s a simulation.The first two seasons of “Westworld” explored a massive live-action open-world role-playing game run by Delos Corporation.
A destination experience where wealthy human guests can live out their fantasies through various themed experiences in the park. The guests, given free reign to be on their worst behavior, often tortured the lifelike robot “hosts”, stuck in the park on an endless horrific loop.
The guests, like the hosts, are constantly observed and their DNA and data are sold to Incite, a massive tech company who uses the information to create a predictive behavioral algorithm in the real world so accurate that the technology is used to to run everything from job applications to dating apps.Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood), is the first to become sentient and leads a robot rebellion to free other hosts, killing hundreds of human guests in the process. William (Ed Harris), aka “The Man in Black,” one of the most sadistic guests, is a majority shareholder and survives the massacre.
