Battle Beyond The Stars (1980)
When the farmers of the peaceful planet Akir are threatened by the evil space tyrant Sador, Zed, the last Akira warrior, recruits a young man, Shad, to seek out allies to fight this menace and save the planet. Shad recruits the oddest assortment of mercenaries this side of Zhodane to his cause; battle ensues. Not bad, but a far cry from
The Magnificent Seven, upon which it was based. Enjoyable if you like low-budget space opera, which I do.

Stars Richard Thomas and Robert Vaughn, among others.
Rated
PG; Runtime = 1 hour, 45 minutes.
