Original British 30x40 Poster British "Quad" Folded Fine Plus Condition
Original Warner Brothers British 30x40 poster, folded, for the Peter Hyams science fiction thriller, OUTLAND (1981) starring Sean Connery, Peter Boyle, and Frances Sternhagen. After leaving the James Bond franchise in 1971, it was this film that started Connery on a comeback trail that culminated with his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for THE UNTOUCHABLES (1987) six years later. Connery plays the role of Police Marshal William O'Niel, who is transferred to a mining outpost located on Io, one of Jupiter's moons. He is assigned to investigate the violent deaths of miners and discovers they all died of drug overdoses. As he sets out to find the drug dealers, he finds that he is the target of hired assassins. This film had one of the best production designs of any science fiction film to date, presenting the outpost mining community not as hospitable, but rather as a dirty, grimy, nasty, and dangerous hellhole. The British poster has a completely different design from U.S. posters for the film. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that this is an original British Quad for this film. MovieArt Austin does not sell reproductions.
