The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A white man raised by Apaches reluctantly helps a group of stagecoach passengers after they are attacked by outlaws. He keeps his own code and speaks very little, letting his actions do the talking.

What happens
Hombre (Spanish for 'man') is a 1967 American revisionist Western film directed by Martin Ritt, based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Elmore Leonard and starring Paul Newman, Fredric March, Richard Boone and Diane Cilento. Newman's amount of dialogue in the film is minimal and much of the role is conveyed through mannerism and action. This was the sixth and final time Ritt directed Newman; they had previously worked together on The Long, Hot Summer; Paris Blues; Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man; Hud; and The Outrage.
