HE’S TEN YEARS OLD AND THEY’VE TAKEN HIM TEN-MILLION MILES INTO SPACE.
Space pirates conduct a raid on the Corporation planet of Procyon 3. During a shootout, Peter, a young boy, takes refuge aboard a spaceship only for the outlaws to steal it. Hawk, the pirate leader, befriends Peter and promises that he will return him home. The group is soon pursued by various lowlifes wanting to snatch the boy for the ransom they know The Corporation will pay.
Roger Corman recycles the spaceships and score from Battle Beyond the Stars to create another low-budget space opera. Space Raiders stars the kid from Sylvester Stallone vehicle Over The Top.
10 million miles is not even to Mars.
UNWATCHABLE

They were just giving the kid a ride to the Space Circle-K to get a Space Icee.
Over the Top is an absolute cracker.
You better turn your cap backwards when you talk about it.
I turn my hat backwards when I game.
that’s when they know …it’s on.
Just watched it. Not bad, not good. Generic 80s kid with a bowl haircut. We watched Battle Beyond the Stars a couple weeks ago on Monsterdon and I didn’t even notice the spaceship footage and score reusage.
