Io, Jupiter's innermost moon, hosts mining colony Con-Am 27, a high-tech hellhole. There Marshall William T. O'Neil (Sean Connery) probes some mysterious deaths amoung the miners. In pursuit of the truth, he's alone.

In OUTLAND, writer/director Peter Hyams (TIMECOP, 2010) depicts a chilling extension of today's corporation-driven world. Dehumanization is vividly evoked in the environments of production designer Phillip Harrison and special-effects wizard John Stears, Academy Award(R) winner for his work on THUNDERBALL and STAR WARS. The spellbinding result is "a movie of unexpected pleasures" (Vincent Canby, The New York Times).
