Here on lo - moon of Jupiter, hell in space - men mine ore to satisfy the needs of Earth. They are hard men, loners for whom the Company provides the necessities: beds, food, drink, and women for hire. Now, in apparent suicide or in frenzied madness, the men are dying...

To OUTLAND comes the new U.S. Marshal O'Niel, a man with a sense of duty so strong it drives him to ferret out evil, greed and murder regardless of the cost. If he must, he will forfeit love, livelihood-even life itself.

There are black and white photos from the movie starring Sean Connery, Peter Boyle, Frances Sternhagen and James Sikking.
