press release
Outland [Limited Edition]
Writer-director Peter Hyams (Capricorn One, 2010, The Relic) takes classic Western tropes off-world and into the future in sci-fi thriller Outland, starring Sean Connery as a federal marshall assigned to keep the peace on a distant moon.
Con-Am 27 is a mining facility on Io, one of Jupiter's largest moons. Six hundred million miles away, the gravity there is one sixth of what it is on Earth, and there is no breathable atmosphere. The work is hard, the bonuses big and productivity is breaking all records. But people are dying. Every so often they just snap. The secret? A drug that can keep its miners working days on end, but over time results in burn-out and psychosis. When new Marshall William O'Niel (Sean Connery) investigates, he uncovers a deadly conspiracy and finds his life under threat from a company that will stop at nothing to keep him quiet.
A chillingly prophetic depiction of corporate greed and exploitation with muscular direction from Hyams, and a stellar performance from Connery, Outland arrives on 4K UHD in a brand new restoration that is out of this world.

Emerges as a tight, intriguing old-fashioned drama that gives audiences a hero worth rooting for
--Variety
A movie of unexpected pleasures
—Vincent Canby, New York Times
Synthesises and repositions the corporate malfeasance of the Alien franchise, but distils it into one potent idea; that things in the future are likely to get worse, and standing strong against it is what real heroes do - prime real estate for a reboot
—Eddie Harrison, Film-Authority
A gripping, taut thriller
