The Profile

Peter Hyams (born 1943) is an American film director, screenwriter and cinematographer best known for science fiction and thriller films including Capricorn One, Outland and Timecop.

Directed Outland (1981) starring Sean Connery. On Outland Hyams is credited as writer and cinematographer; the film used IntroVision effects and practical special effects by John Stears and music by Jerry Goldsmith (as noted in the review).

The provided DeBaser review (elsbrega) examines Peter Hyams' Outland (1981), noting its 'space western' intent, strong cast led by Sean Connery, and enduring practical effects. The reviewer finds faults in scientific accuracy and character depth but ultimately recommends the film for its tension and design. Overall assessment: imperfect but worth seeing.
