Story The story is set in the near future, in a high-tech, highly realistic fictional adult amusement park called Delos. The amusement park entertainment is basically the interaction between the guests and androids that look so realistic. For a price of $1,000 per day, the guest can do what ever they want. They can kill or do anything to the robots. The androids are programmed to act in character for each of the park's three themed zones: WesternWorld (the American Old West), MedievalWorld (medieval Europe), and RomanWorld (pre-Christian Rome). The main characters Peter Martin a first-timer to the amusement park, and his friend John Blane, who has visited previously. After they are there for awhile stuff start to go wrong with the robots and they start to kill people.

Problems When filming began on March 22, 1976 in the Tunisian desert for the scenes on the planet Tatooine. There were many different problems. Lucas fell behind schedule in the first week of shooting due to a rare Tunisian rainstorm, malfunctioning props, and electronic breakdowns. Another problem was when actor Anthony Daniels wore the C-3PO outfit for the first time, the left leg piece shattered down through the plastic covering his left foot, stabbing him. Also Most of the crew considered the project a "children's film," rarely took their work seriously And the actors didn't believe in the film and thought it would fail

CGI There isn't a lot of CGI in this film. One of the example of CGI is in the X wing, the fighter planes. The CGI is the x wings targeting system. You can see this when the character Luke shoots missiles at the death star. The Star Wars film series has spawned other media including books, television series, video games, and comic books
