To show my age a little bit...Here's another older movie that not very many people younger than I am have seen. It's the futuristic 1981 film Outland.
-
Sean Connery plays a marshal who is transferred to a mining outpost on Io, moon of Jupiter. There he stumbles on a drug-smuggling ring with lofty connections.
-
Don't be fooled, this isn't so much of a sci-fi movie. It's more of a western that happens to be set in outer space.
-
It is very slow moving, especially by today's standards, but still good. All The characters are well written and acted and there's a constant air of tension .
-
As you watch this movie keep an eye out for 2 cast members who would later wind up as relatives on the TV series Cheers.
