Before there was Jurassic Park, there was Westworld for the horror of a theme park that goes completely wrong. The robotic vacation resort turned against the guests in 1972. But in 1976, the owners of the park reopened it for Futureworld. They swore the bugs had been worked out. But did they really fix the out of control cowboy that looks like Yul Brynner? Futureworld is now coming into the future with a Blu-ray release on March 26. This was another of the exciting Peter Fonda films that seemed to play late night on TV back in the late ’70s. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory:

Do you remember that disaster at Delos a few years ago when the Westworld robots went out of control and killed a few guests? Well, the entire resort has now been rebuilt and redesigned to be completely fail-safe.
To combat the lingering adverse publicity, Duffy, the Delos representative, has offered the IMC Communication Network exclusive rights to the “new” Delos story. Tracy Ballard (Blythe Danner), the network’s top commentator, has been assigned the story with Chuck Browning (Peter Fonda), the newspaper reporter who broke the original Westworld disaster story. But as Tracy and Chuck’s private tour starts, they get the feeling the entire resort might not be as safe as Delos thinks…
