Storyline
Marshal W.T. O'Niel is assigned to a mining colony on Io, one of Jupiter's moons. During his tenure miners are dying - usually violently. When the marshal investigates he discovers the one thing all the deaths have in common is a lethal amphetamine-type drug, which allows the miners to work continuously for days at a time until they become "burned out" and expire. O'Niel follows the trail of the dealers, which leads to the man overseeing the colony. Now O'Niel must watch his back at every turn, as those who seek to protect their income begin targeting him...

Trivia
Sean Connery lost a major extended cameo role in Chariots of Fire because this film went over schedule. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: In the outdoor scenes showing Io's mining buildings with Jupiter and the stars in the background, the stars are blinking. Such blinking is caused by viewing the stars through an atmosphere, as on Earth. But Io has virtually no atmosphere. Therefore, the stars should have been shining steadily. See more »Quotes
Security Sergeant Montone: Nelson, we're talking about nuclear detonators here. You don't just "lose" them and then "find" them again. You lose your *comb* and then find it, but not nuclear detonators. I want to know *when* and *where* they were found. You get my drift?See more »
