...when it was called "Outland." Both of which are, as another commenter said, based on "High Noon." Some of the shots are almost identical to the Connery movie, as are the basic scenario and subplot elements. Additionally, some of the plot details they changed, presumably to avoid lawsuits, created huge, unresolved plot holes. And of course Dean Cain can't hold a candle to Connery at his post-Bond peak.
As if those failings were not egregious enough, this movie also lacks the cranky charm of Frances Sternhagen.
Rend "Outland" and sink this flick in the Marianas Trench.
