In response to Andrew inquiry of Scifi film that have Western genre

characteristics, one film would be Robocop. The hero heavily employs

Western conventions in battle and has a high code of ethics for enforcin

the law. Some themes of Robocop are anti-big business and exposing the

corruption of commercialism and technology. Look into this film because

it definately has parallels to the Western genre.

 

Good Luck, -Dylan
