30 in 30...DAY 21...OUTLAND (1981)
I remember watching this in the 1980s as a kid. I remember the final battle scene but that was about it. Sean Connery is a police officer on a mining station way out on one of Jupiter's moons in the far future. He faces corruption and corporate goons in his attempt to clean up the operation. This was a pretty good film for its time, obviously influenced heavily by Star Wars and especially ALIEN. In fact, you could view this as a companion piece to Alien as both universes are very similar.
Some great model work used throughout the film. Huge model sets...
Looks like a scene from ALIEN...
Humanity has conquered space travel, has mining operations all over the galaxy, yet we still use sawed off shotguns..Haha!
