Premise

Two centuries in the future, a dangerous lunatic named Grange (Paré) is sentenced to a penal colony, Botany Bay, on the planet Proxima Centauri 3. There, a bounty hunter (Laughlin) and an ex-policeman (Farnsworth) team up to prevent him from escaping.[2]

The soundtrack includes The Spikes, The Screaming Believers, Exploding White Mice, Dream Syndicate, and Blood money.

Release

The film is also known as A Dollar a Day, Breakout on Prison Planet, Trackers 2180, Trackers, and The Last Frontier.[3]

Reception

Leonard Maltin wrote that Farnsworth "should've turned [his laser-beam six-shooter] on the negative of this bomb."[4] TV Guide rated it two out of four stars and called it "an uneasy blend of science fiction and western", though it praised the unconventional casting of Paré as a villain.[5]
