Outland is a 1981 British science fiction thriller film written and directed by Peter Hyams. The film stars Sean Connery, Peter Boyle, and Frances Sternhagen. Set on Jupiter's moon Io, it has been described as a space Western,[2] and bears thematic resemblances to the 1952 film High Noon.[3][4] Contents 1 Plot2 Cast3 Production 3.1 Soundtrack 4 Reception5 Home media 5.1 DVD release5.2 Blu-ray release5.3 Other formats 6 North American airings 6.1 Pay television6.2 Network television 7 Adaptations8 Remake9 References10 External links Plot In the future, Federal Marshal William O'Niel (Sean Connery) is assigned to a tour of duty at the titanium ore mining outpost 'Con-Am 27' operated by the company Conglomerates Amalgamated, on the Jovian moon of Io. Conditions on Io are difficult: gravity is 1/6 that of Earth's with no breathable atmosphere, spacesuits are cumbersome, and miners carry their own air supply. Shifts are long, but significant bonuses are paid. Con-Amalgamated mining franchise general manager Mark Sheppard (Peter Boyle) boasts that since he took over the running of Io, productivity has broken all previous records. Carol O'Niel (Kika Markham) feels she cannot raise their son Paul to live inside a sterile environment far from Earth and with little to do. She takes Paul and flees to the space station serving Io, awaiting a shuttle back to Earth. A miner named Tarlow (John Ratzenberger) suffers an attack of stimulant psychosis: he sees spiders and rips open his spacesuit, resulting in his death by explosive decompression. Cane, another miner, enters an elevator without his spacesuit during an apparent psychotic episode, and likewise dies from decompression. With the reluctant assistance of Dr. Lazarus (Frances Sternhagen), O'Niel investigates the deaths. Another incident involves a worker, Sagan, who takes a prostitute hostage and threatens to kill her with a knife. O'Niel attempts to calm the man while Montone (James B. Sikking), O'Niel's sergeant, sneaks in via the air duct. Montone kills Sagan with a shotgun. O'Niel and Lazarus discover that Sagan had traces of a highly powerful amphetamine-type drug in his bloodstream, which would allow the miners to work continuously for days at a time, until they "burn out" and turn psychotic after approximately 10 months of use. O'Niel uncovers a drug distribution ring run by a corrupt Sheppard and sanctioned by Montone. Using surveillance cameras, O'Niel finds and captures one of Sheppard's dealers, Nicholas Spota; but before Spota can be questioned, he is killed. Montone is then found garroted. O'Niel finds the latest shipment of drugs in a meat locker that was shipped from the Jupiter space station, but then he's attacked by one of the other dealers, Russell Yario. O'Niel knocks him out, then destroys the highly valuable shipment of drugs. When Sheppard finds out, he threatens O'Niel and then contacts his drug distributor, asking him to send in professional hitmen. O'Niel is ready, though, having been monitoring Sheppard's communications. O'Niel waits as a digital clock counts down the time for the arrival of a supply shuttle from the other side of Jupiter. Knowing the assassins are on their way, and with only Dr. Lazarus willing to help him, as his "last act" O'Niel sends a message to his family, promising to return to Earth when his "job is done." When the hitmen arrive, O'Niel tracks and ambushes each, killing them one by one. Lazarus helps him kill the first by trapping him in a pressurized corridor. O'Niel (outside in a spacesuit) activates a bomb, causing an explosive decompression that kills the hitman. The second assassin is killed in the greenhouse structure when O'Niel drops a cooling fin down the outside of the greenhouse. Thinking it is O'Niel, the hitman shoots the window, causing it to crack and then burst, which blows him out to his death, disintegrating his body. O'Niel is then confronted by Sheppard's "inside man," who turns out to be one of his own deputies, Sgt. Ballard. The two fight outside the station at the satellite power panel structure until O'Niel pulls Ballard's oxygen hose, suffocating him. O'Niel then confronts the surprised Sheppard in the base recreation bar, knocking him out with one punch. It is implied that Sheppard will now either be murdered by his own accomplices or brought to justice, while O´Niel´s deputies will be brought to trial for mutiny. O'Niel retires, thanks and says farewell to Dr. Lazarus and leaves on the shuttle to join his wife and son on the journey back to Earth. Cast Sean Connery as Marshal William T.

Hyams recalled: I wanted to do a Western. Everybody said, 'You can’t do a Western; Westerns are dead; nobody will do a Western'. I remember thinking it was weird that this genre that had endured for so long was just gone. But then I woke up and came to the conclusion – obviously after other people – that it was actually alive and well, but in outer space. I wanted to make a film about the frontier. Not the wonder of it or the glamour of it: I wanted to do something about Dodge City and how hard life was. I wrote it, and by great fortune Sean Connery wanted to do it. And how many chances do you get to work with Sean Connery?[6] Outland was filmed at Pinewood Studios, Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, UK, with an estimated budget of ,000,000. The film's working title was "Io" (the setting of the film), which was later changed because many people read it as the number 10, or "Lo" ("low"). Principal photography took place starting with the miniature models in May 1980 and with the actors beginning in June 1980. Post-production for the film was completed in February 1981.[7] Outland was pioneering as the first motion picture to use Introvision,[8] a variation on front projection that allows foreground, mid-ground and background elements to be combined in-camera, as opposed to using optical processes such as bluescreen matting. This enabled characters to convincingly walk around miniature sets of the mining colony. Soundtrack The mostly atonal and dissonant music to Outland was composed and conducted by veteran composer Jerry Goldsmith, who had previously worked with writer/director Peter Hyams on the science fiction thriller Capricorn One (1978), and had recently provided the soundtrack to Alien (which had a similar style to Outland, reflecting isolation, remoteness and fear). The soundtrack to Outland has been released three times on disc; 19 November 1993 through GNP Crescendo (with his score to Capricorn One), June 2000 through Warner Music Group, and a two-disc extended edition released 15 June 2010 through Film Score Monthly.[9] The expanded release also includes the John Williams music for the Ladd Company logo, the material composed by Morton Stevens for the fight between O'Niel and Ballard, and the source cues for the rec room by Michael Boddicker.[10] The 35mm film prints distributed to theaters featured Dolby Stereo audio and the 70mm Anamorphic Blow-Up film prints featured Six-Track Dolby Stereo audio. All 70mm prints were encoded for a Megasound option, in which theaters needed to be outfitted with the additional required speakers and sound equipment. Outland was one of only four films released by Warner Bros. to officially make use of their Megasound movie theater sound system, in the early 1980s.[citation needed] Reception The film received mixed reviews and box office reception when it was released. It opened strongly with ,059,638 in weekend box office receipts in the U.S., but total estimated box offices receipts in the country are between ,374,595 and ,000,000, just above its million budget.[1] The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound (John Wilkinson, Robert W. Glass, Jr., Robert Thirlwell and Robin Gregory).[11] Gary Arnold at The Washington Post had this to say: "In Outland, writer-director Peter Hyams has adapted the plot of High Noon to an intriguing sci-fi environment—a huge titanium mine located on Io, a volcanic moon of Jupiter. But the conventions that worked for High Noon break down in the high-tech atmosphere of Outland and the story seems trite and dinky".[3] In The Boston Globe, Michael Blowen was more favorable: "The parallels between Outland and Fred Zinneman's 1952 western High Noon are apparent. Writer-director Peter Hyams has transported the characters and motifs from the dusty frontier town of Gary Cooper to the frontiers of space. While Hyams keeps the story barreling along, he also develops a corollary anti-capitalist theme. Io is an outpost for exploitation, and it doesn't make any difference whether the miners are digging gold in the Colorado hills or titanium on Jupiter's moon, the greed of the corporate class will prevail. Outland marks the return of the classic western hero in a space helmet. His outfit has changed and his environment has expanded but he's still the same. When Connery stares down the barrel of that shotgun, you'd better smile".[4] Desmond Ryan at the Philadelphia Inquirer called it: "A brilliant sci-fi Western. In many ways, Hyams has made a film that is more frightening than Alien, because he surmises that space will change us very little and the real monsters we are liable to encounter will be in the next space suit.[12] Outland has endured many comparisons to Ridley Scott's Alien (released two years earlier), most notably in its 'future realism' production design which reflects a dark, claustrophobic and isolated neo-industrial environment in deep space, and the portrayal of future 'megacorporations' as sinister and ruthless organisations pursuing profit at any cost, with their employees' lives being expendable. Home media DVD release Outland was released on DVD on November 18, 1997. It was presented in both letterbox widescreen and full screen on a double sided disc with the soundtrack remastered in Dolby 5.1 surround sound. The Region 1 DVD received harsh criticism for its poor quality transfer and not enhanced for widescreen televisions. A "making of" featurette, cast and credit notes, plus a theatrical trailer are included as special features on the disc. The film was released on DVD in the UK (Region 2) in 1998. This version is anamorphically enhanced for widescreen televisions, as is the Region 4 release. Blu-ray release Outland was released on Blu-ray Disc on July 10, 2012. The film is presented in an aspect ratio of 2.40:1 with an English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound mix. The disc also features a brand new commentary audio-track with director Peter Hyams. Other formats Outland was first released for home video on VHS, Beta, and V2000 videotape formats in November 1982.[13] The film had many re-issues on VHS and between 1982 and 1998, including a widescreen NTSC VHS on January 7, 1997.[14] Videodisc releases included the CED disc in August 1983,[15] a Laserdisc release in 1984, and a remastered laserdisc with digital sound on August 28, 1991. North American airings Pay television Outland debuted on pay TV in the U.S. in September 1982 on the HBO and Showtime channels.[16][17] In Canada, the film was first shown in October 1983 on Superchannel.[18] The film was broadcast uncut, commercial-free, and periodically over several months, in both countries.[19] These pay TV broadcasts of Outland used the same source as the initial NTSC home video release. Network television The network TV premiere for Outland was on May 19, 1984 via CBS in the U.S. and was simulcasted on CTV in Canada.[20][21] This re-edited version of the film, broadcast exclusively on these networks, utilized cut footage not seen in the theatrical/home video version. One notable example is an extended scene showing a more lengthy exit from the station for O'Niel and also Ballard suited-up exiting, near the end of the film. These cutting-room-floor scenes were made available for the network to extend parts of the film; which, in turn, allowed them to sell more commercial time-slots to advertisers. The inclusion of left-over footage (if made available) was common practice during the 1970s to 1980s, for network film premieres and subsequent licensed broadcasts. This version was labeled "edited for television" to comply with U.S. network television censorship standards of the time and never released to home video. Adaptations A comic strip adaptation of Outland illustrated by Jim Steranko appeared in Heavy Metal magazine in the July 1981 to October 1981, and January 1982 issues.[22]A novelization of Outland written by Alan Dean Foster was published by Warner Books in March 1981.A large-format photonovel titled Outland: The Movie Novel: Edited by Richard J. Anobile from the Screenplay by Peter Hyams was published by Grand Central Publishing in 1981. It was promoted as including "over 750 full-color photographs".A song based on Outland called "High Moon" was written by Star One (a side project of Ayreon composer Arjen Lucassen) for the Space Metal album. Remake On August 18, 2009, studio Warner Brothers announced that director Michael Davis had been hired to direct a remake of the film from a script by Chad St. John. No casting or start date information was announced.[23][24] Outland (1981) It’s a shame that Sean Connery is remembered primarily as the first Bond and as that Egyptian dude who dies in Highlander, since his best work as an actor may be in the little-heralded space Western Outland. While the film is loosely based on High Noon, director Peter Hyams trades the vast expanse of the American West for a dark, claustrophobic mining colony on Io, one of Jupiter’s moons. After a series of strange suicides, Connery’s police marshal suspects foul play and exposes a conspiracy in the colony’s administration. Once the truth is out, hired assassins try to shut him up. Standing in for Gary Cooper, Connery is less a hero than a haggard lawman attempting to remain just within a system that is anything but. The major draw here is Connery’s performance, the most subtle and evocative of his career. Ditching his suave Bond persona, Connery presents his weary protagonist as a man deeply committed to keeping the peace, but also aware of the damage that sense of duty has done to himself and his family. Outland is intense and often obscenely violent, but the best scenes are the quiet ones in which Connery explains to the colony’s doctor (Frances Sternhagen, in an equally underappreciated turn), or to his family why he acts the way he does. Rarely is the star given the opportunity to explore the deeper motivations of his characters, and Outland proves he’s up to the task. Outland has a strong streak of social commentary, suggesting that even after humankind manages to settle down on new worlds, greed and conformity will continue to dominate its interactions. The tagline for the film, “The ultimate enemy is still man,” sums up its cynical view of the future. Although his criticism of profiteering veers close to heavy-handedness, Hyams manages to keep the tension high. Despite its mediocre ticket sales, Outland will likely be remembered as the director’s finest hour; it’s certainly better than End Of Days, his biggest hit. Outland (1981) 'OUTLAND,' CONNERY ON JUPITER'S FRONTIER By Vincent Canby Published: May 22, 1981 ''NOT many people here have both oars in the water,'' says flinty Dr. Marian Lazarus (Frances Sternhagen), to Bill O'Niel (Sean Connery), the newly arrived Federal district marshal who has been assigned to the remote mining camp to maintain law and order. Doc Lazarus is no easier on herself, being aware that the kind of physicians who take jobs in remote mining camps usually are, as she puts it, one step ahead of a malpractice suit. Doc Lazarus is an exception, as is Bill O'Niel, who refuses to wink or look away when strange things start happening at the camp, even though production is up and profits are soaring. When the showdown comes, as it must, it's Bill O'Niel and Doc Lazarus against the world, as represented by the mining company's greedy agents. Peter Hyams's ''Outland,'' which opens today at the Criterion Theater, may be the oddest-looking western you've ever seen, being set not on the American frontier, where it's always 1870, but in outer space, specifically on Io, the third moon of Jupiter, some time in the not-too-distant future. It's also a movie of unexpected pleasures, including some uncommonly handsome science-fiction sets, a straightforward narrative that recalls ''High Noon'' without that film's holy seriousness, some wonderfully effective chases through the darkest interiors of this huge, hermetically sealed moon camp, plus two staunch, robust performances by Mr. Connery and Miss Sternhagen. ''Outland'' is what most people mean when they talk about good escapist entertainment. It won't enlarge one's perceptions of life by a single millimeter, but neither does it make one feel like an idiot for enjoying it so much. Nothing in Mr. Hyams's ealier credits as a writer-director (''Hanover Street,'' ''Capricorn One,'' ''Busting'') prepares the viewer for the unpretentious achievement of ''Outland,'' in which Bill O'Niel takes his stand against a murderous fellow named Sheppard (Peter Boyle), the mining company's chief agent on Io. It seems that Sheppard, with the knowledge of the Federal marshal who preceded O'Niel, has been importing from earth and distributing to the miners a synthetic drug that for eight or nine months increases the user's work capacity before turning his mind to oatmeal. Thus the explanation for the high suicide rate at the mining camp. How Big Bill faces this challenge is pretty much the story of ''Outland,'' though a lot of the fun in watching it also comes from the look of the ersatz physical world created by Mr. Hyams and his associates, principally Philip Harrison, the production designer, and John Stears, the special-effects supervisor. More interesting even than all the fancy, obligatory gadgetry are the mining camp's surreal living spaces -sleeping quarters that look like stacks of roomy, designer bird-cages, large, shadowless mess halls and a swinging discotheque, featuring sound-and-laser-beam pornography and prostitutes to take the miners' minds (or what's left of them) off the boredom of their work. Mr. Hyams doesn't pay too much attention to the private lives of his principal characters. Dear Doc Lazarus has none at all, and Bill O'Niel's wife, Carol (Kirka Markham), flees from Io quite early in the movie. After eight years she's become fed up with living in one space mining camp after another and decides to take their son back to earth, which he's never seen. From that time on, Carol is no more than a face seen on a television monitor from time to time. The serious business of ''Outland'' is Big Bill's decision to fight Io's traffic in dope and, by indirection, to bring some humanity back to a world made entirely out of synthetics. Mr. Hyams has the good sense not to stress that last point. It goes without saying in the action we see on the screen, and in movies like ''Outland,'' action is intellect and sensibility as well as an end in itself.
