Amazon.com video review:
This boxed set features three films that share a singular
distinction: Not only were they written by bestseller-factory Michael
Crichton (with two of three based on his novels)--they were directed by
Crichton as well. Coma stars Michael Douglas and Genevieve Bujold in a
thriller about doctors who discover that patients are being killed at a
major hospital so that their organs can be harvested for transplants.
The Great Train Robbery stars Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland in an
exciting and stylish film (based on an actual incident) about an attempt
to steal a huge shipment of gold from a moving train in mid-19th-century
England. Westworld is a futuristic thriller about an adult vacation
center, where grownups can live out their fantasies by being cowboys
and battling gun-slinging robots (who are programmed to lose). But the
robots (led by Yul Brynner in his Magnificent Seven mufti) go haywire
and start killing the customers.
