Simon Quaid and Joseph Oppenheimer invented lifelike robots for the Delos Corporation, which owns the amusement park called Westworld. Quaid then decided to reprogram his own children to take over the world and turn it into a Utopian society. John Moore of Delos and his assistant Pamela Williams were given the task to stop Quaid from his plan.

Beyond Westworld was a spin-off of the 1973 film, Westworld where robots destroyed the amusement park and killed anyone who was in their sight, for no explanation.

The series was canceled after only 3 episodes due to poor ratings and high production costs.
