Two years after the Westworld tragedy in the Delos amusement park, the corporate owners have reopened the park following over $1 billion in safety and other improvements. For publicity purposes, reporters Chuck Browning and Tracy Ballard are invited to review the park. Just prior to arriving, however, Browning is given a clue by a dying man that something is amiss.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Yul Brynner's final film appearance, and he only appears in a dream sequence—shot entirely from recycled Westworld footage with one new close-up.
Futureworld was the first major film to use 3D computer-generated imagery, showing a CGI hand and face during a brief scene—years before Tron made it famous.
