While Peter Hyams may not be a household name to casual film fans, his filmography stacks up with some of the greatest directors of his era. His movies were never critically adored, but they typically did decent coin at the box office and held up really well all these years later. On this super-sized edition of The Best Movie You Never Saw, we’re looking at a trilogy of sci-fi movies he made early in his career.

Capricorn One: The underrated conspiracy thriller finds NASA faking a mission to Mars and marking the astronauts, played by James Brolin, OJ Simpson and Sam Waterston, for death. Elliott Gould co-stars.

Outland: Sean Connery stars in this sci-fi remake of High Noon, which many fans have pegged as an unofficial sequel to Alien.

2010: An ambitious and entertaining sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, starring Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren and John Lithgow.
