SUMMER OF SCI-FI: 05.01.2025 to 09.01.2025
One of our favorite films. The story is essentially a western set in space, but it’s “hard sci-fi” and gritty too. It seems like the flick is set in the world of Alien. A lot of people thought that when the film was released and do so today. Sean Connery kicks but as the marshal. Sit back and enjoy.

ABOUT:
Outland is an underrated Sean Connery movie. It’s very much a quasi sci-fi remake of High Noon, with Connery a Marshall stationed on Jupiter’s moon, IO, who is targeted for death when he discovers miners are being fed a deadly drug to make them more productive. It comes from Peter Hyams, the director of a lot of films we’ve covered here on The Best Movie You Never Saw, including Running Scared and 2010: The Year We Make Contact.
The film, which owes a lot to Ridley Scott’s Alien, is packed with action and offers Connery a rare sci-fi role. It was a box office disappointment in 1981 and was likely the reason Connery returned as James Bond in Never Say Never Again, but it holds up as a fun movie.
