The Gunslinger from Westworld
In the 1973 Michael Crichton film, visitors to an amusement park are surrounded by role-playing androids, who simulate all manner of exciting and violent periods in history. A central control malfunction leaves the robots roaming free and unrestrained, and the massacre begins.
IT moral
The more powerful your systems become, the more important disaster recovery becomes. It's one thing for stuff to go wrong: it will. It's quite another when the only valid response is to flee in terror from the resulting mayhem. Practise your business recovery strategy. Oh, and don't hire Yul Brynner as a troubleshooter.
