Another SF western is _Moon_Zero_Two_, complete with claim jumpers and
showdowns at high Earth (with a lady sheriff, in fact).  Haven't seen it
for years, but liked it when I was younger.  Starred James Olson (Andromeda
Strain, The Empire Strikes Back)

Never saw it, but I do wonder.  Since high Earth is a place and not a time
how does this affect the plot?
