Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a corporate conspiracy to replace world leaders with robots, which is a critique of unchecked power and a call for transparency. However, it does not explicitly promote a specific political ideology or offer a partisan solution, focusing instead on universal themes of good versus evil and the exposure of corruption.
The movie features a predominantly white cast in its main roles, reflecting traditional casting practices of its time. The narrative focuses on a science fiction conspiracy without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating prominent diversity, equity, and inclusion themes.
Secondary
Futureworld does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a science fiction plot involving robots and corporate espionage, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the story.
The film features Tracy Ballard as a lead female character, an investigative journalist. Her role involves uncovering a conspiracy and navigating dangerous situations, but she does not engage in or win close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.
Futureworld is a sequel to Westworld. The film introduces new main characters and reprises the Gunslinger robot, who maintains his original male gender. No established characters from prior canon are portrayed with a different gender.
Futureworld is a sequel to Westworld, featuring mostly new characters. The returning character, the Gunslinger robot, is portrayed by the same actor, Yul Brynner, and its race was not canonically established in a way that could be swapped. No other characters meet the definition of a race swap.
