Short description
An honest marshal in a corrupt mining colony on Io, Jupiter's sunless third moon, is determined to confront a violent drug ring even though it may cost him his life. After his wife angrily deserts him, he waits alone for the arrival of killers hired by the company to eliminate him.
What's left behind the scenes
- Alan Dean Foster wrote a novelization of the film 'Alien Land'.
- In 1981, the magazine 'Heavy Metal' published comics based on the film.
- The working title of the film was 'Io,' but it was changed before release due to concerns that audiences would read the name as the number 10.
- ‘Alien Land’ largely borrows the plot from the classic 1952 Western 'High Noon'.
- The mining company is called Con-Amalgamate, the same name as the company producing the faulty life support system in Peter Hyams’ film *Capricorn One* (1978).
- The film’s tagline, “Even in space, the ultimate enemy is man,” slightly paraphrases the tagline of *Alien* (1979).
- The role of Dr. Lazarus was initially offered to Coline Ducher.
- Sean Connery had to decline a role in *Chariots of Fire* (1981) because filming ran over schedule.
