On this episode we celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the cult classic and very underrated Sean Connery sci-fi film, OUTLAND (1981). We also discuss how fans consider this movie to be an unofficial prequel to ALIEN (1979). Plot & Description: Outland is a 1981 science fiction thriller film written and directed by Peter Hyams and starring Sean Connery, Peter Boyle and Frances Sternhagen. Set in the distant future on Jupiter's moon Io, it has been described as a space Western and bears narrative and thematic resemblances to the 1952 film High Noon. The film depicts a new marshal who begins work at a mining facility on the moon Io. There he discovers a dirty secret but runs into dead ends as he tries to uncover those behind it, who also attempt to silence him.
