Comment/Synopsis

Sean Connery is a marshal in a mining operation on a moon of Jupiter who uncovers a drugs ring following some suspicious deaths. As he starts to investigate the deaths, he becomes a target from those involved which goes all the way up to the top of the organisation on the moon. This leads him alone to show down between him and the drug suppliers. The performance of Sean Connery makes this worth watching. For those with long memories the connection of the plot with High Noon is apparent.
