What happens

Gangster World (alternatively titled The Outsider for its video release) is a 1997 made-for-TV science fiction film directed by David Bishop and written by Patrick Highsmith and Evan Spiliotopoulos. It was about a futuristic theme park in which people interact with androids in violent (and sometimes sexual) gangster-style scenarios. Despite the title and premise, it is unconnected with the film Westworld. In 1998, a DVD was released of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
