In Capricorn One, Con-Amalgamate manufactures the faulty life-support system that "forces" the powers that be to fake a landing on Mars instead of actually going there. Con-Amalgamate is also a mining company in Outland, where it whistles and turns a blind eye as miners take deadly performance-enchancing drugs in order to boost productivity. The tie between these films is director Peter Hyams. I wonder if he works for the company?
