Outland is a 1981 science fiction thriller film written and directed by Peter Hyams and starring Sean Connery, Peter Boyle and Frances Sternhagen.
Set 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.
