I absolutely loved this film as a kid. I must've watched it a dozen times. It was often on late night when I got in from the pub as a teenager too and i'd always watch what was left. Yul Brynner is great as the gunslinger and I love those scenes with the echo of his shoes tapping ominously as he stalks emotionlessly down the facilities corridors.

The movie was good but you can’t beat the series. I watched the movie to see how it all started.

nope. i don't understand the high rating even for a 70s movie, This was boring nothing was happening for 80 minutes and in the last ten just the guy was running all the time. The most furious part is the plot in imdb [spoiler]"A robot malfunction creates havoc and terror for unsuspecting vacationers at a futuristic, adult-themed amusement park". Yeah, this happens for 8 minutes on the end! [/spoiler] Come on, few years later star wars came out, couldn't they do a better film with more plot than a cheesecake

The forerunner for the 2016 TV Series. For it's time (pre-CGI, early years of the genre, in the same era of Star Trek the TV show - 66-69) the acting, the pace, the budget were all common fare,. A 7 (good) out of 10) in it's time. Michael Crichton's premise, however, was brilliant and I'm glad it was unearthed in an age of TV (2016) that could do it justice, I only wish he'd lived to see it, he died in 2008.

If your a REAL sci-fi fan, watch it. You won't be disappointed!
