Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Space Raiders, also known as Star Child, is a 1983 American space Western film written and directed by Howard R. Cohen and produced by Roger Corman. The film was made during the time when many studios were releasing space opera films following the success of Star Wars. However, the film was panned by critics, especially for its reuse of special effects footage and music (composed by James Horner) taken from Corman's 1980 film Battle Beyond the Stars. The film follows a young boy who gets caught up with a group of space pirates after hiding from their attack on the space ship they came to steal. The group face challenges as the leader attempts to keep his promise to return him to his homeworld. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
