Outland
1981
Director Peter Hyams transplants High Noon to outer space in this sci-fi thriller starring Sean Connery as William O'Niel, a cosmic lawman on a Jupiter moon outpost who conducts an inquiry after three miners go mad and die in rapid succession. But his probe doesn't sit well with the mine manager (Peter Boyle), who's boosting worker productivity through dangerous drugs … and he promptly dispatches a pair of thugs to get rid of O'Niel.

All the text snippets at the beginning made me feel like I was playing a video game, not watching a movie. The overall story isn't bad, but there is tons of downtime in between the interesting events.
