Outland












Description On The Back Cover - Io, Jupiter's innermost moon, hosts mining colony Con-Am 27, a high-tech hellhole.  There Marshal William T. O'Neil (Sean Connery) probes some mysterious deaths among the miners.  In pursuit of the truth, he's alone.  In Outland, writer/director Peter Hyams (Timecop, 2010) depicts a chilling extension of today's corporation-driven world.  Dehumanization is vividly evoked in the environments of production designer Phillip Harrison and special-effects wizard John Stears, Academy Award winner for his work on Thunderball and Star Wars.  The spellbinding result is "a movie of unexpected pleasures" (Vincent Canby, The New York Times).

Additional Information - This movie wasn't made by Heavy Metal, but it was adaptated into a comic, "Outland" by Jim Steranko.  It was published in each issue from June to October 1981 and January 1982 of Heavy Metal.
