About the Design
"Outland,"
starring Sean Connery, was writer/director Peter Hyams' sci-fi take on the
western classic "High Noon" (1952). Connery played a federal
marshal charged with maintaining law and order on a private mining colony
on the Jovian moon Io. When he finds hints of corporate corruption,
Connery becomes the target of mercenary assassins, whose arrival aboard
the massive Con-Am 27 shuttle is foretold by an ominously clicking countdown
display.
The workman-like Con-Am Shuttle so critical to the film's plot was designed and built by British sci-fi miniature maestro Martin Bowers, who was also responsible for the many of the hyper-detailed miniatures featured in the films and TV series of Gerry Anderson, among others. |
