OUTLAND (1981) 15394

Original Warner Bros. Oversized Color Still Photograph (16x20) for the Peter Hyams sci-fi thriller, OUTLAND (1981)-- starring Sean Connery, Peter Boyle, and Frances Sternhagen. After leaving the James Bond franchise in 1971, it was this film that started Connery on a comeback trail that culminated in his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for THE UNTOUCHABLES (1987) six years later. In this film Connery plays the role of Police Marshal William O'Niel, who is transferred to a mining outpost located on Io, one of Jupiter's moons. He is assigned to investigate the violent deaths of miners and discovers they all died of drug overdoses. As he sets out to find the drug dealers, he finds that he is the target of hired assassins. This film had one of the best production designs of any sci-fi film, presenting the outpost mining community not as some sci-fi "utopia" but rather as a dirty, grimy, nasty, and dangerous hellhole. This original color still is in fine condition.
