Velocity Trap is a 1999 television film directed by Phillip J. Roth and starring Olivier Gruner, Alicia Coppola, and Ken Olandt.

The main character, Ray Stokes (Olivier Gruner) is a down-on-his luck police officer on a distant, corruptly-ruled mining colony.

He has already lost his wife Dana (Anna Karin) to his corrupt boss, John Dawson (Craig Wasson), not from any failure in romantic rivalry, but as part of a deal to pay off their dead daughter's medical bills: making her Dawson's "Contract Wife".

Stokes is framed for the murder of another ED officer (Yannick Bisson), also killed by Nelson's assassin.

The interception occurs, leaving Stokes and Beth Sheffield (Alicia Coppola), the attractive female navigator, the only survivors of the ensuing gun battles; they steal the money and buy the mining colony.
