Battle Beyond the Stars (25-Dec-1980)

Director: Jimmy T. Murakami

Writers: John Sayles; Anne Dyer

Music Composed by: James Horner

Producer: Ed Carlin

Keywords: Sci-Fi

Intergalactic tyrant Sador threatens a small planet with annihilation by the Stellar Converter; with the planet's only spacecraft, village farmer Shad recruits a motley assortment of mercenary clichés to mount a defense. Nell, the ship's computer, is the voice of sanity. Retelling of Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai (1954) in the wake of Star Wars (1977), by Roger Corman's production company on a shoestring budget.
