What happens

The Stranger is a 1973 science fiction television pilot directed by Lee H. Katzin, and starring Glenn Corbett and Cameron Mitchell. Independent film production and distribution company Film Ventures International (FVI) re-issued The Stranger to syndication under the title Stranded in Space. As with other films released by FVI, the opening credits for Stranded in Space featured footage from an entirely unrelated film, in this case the 1983 low-budget science fiction film Prisoners of the Lost Universe.
