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.

What happens

Young Guns is a 1988 American Western action film directed and produced by Christopher Cain and written by John Fusco. The film depicts a heavily fictionalized version of the actions of Billy the Kid and the Regulators during the Lincoln County War, in New Mexico in 1877–78. It stars Emilio Estevez as Billy, and Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Estevez's brother Charlie Sheen, Dermot Mulroney, and Casey Siemaszko as other Lincoln County Regulators. The supporting cast features Terence Stamp, Terry O'Quinn, Brian Keith, and Jack Palance. The first film to be produced by Morgan Creek Productions, Young Guns received mixed reviews, with critics polarized over its inaccuracies and story, despite praise for the cast's performances, and opened at number one at the US box office and eventually grossed $56 million against an $11-million budget. Because of the film's cast, it is often associated with the "Brat Pack" set of 1980s actors. A sequel, Young Guns II, was released in 1990, with the principal cast reprising their roles.
