Battle Beyond the Stars is a 1980 American space opera film produced by Roger Corman, directed by Jimmy T. Murakami, and starring Richard Thomas, Robert Vaughn, George Peppard, John Saxon, Sybil Danning and Darlanne Fluegel.
Inspired by Battle Beyond the Sun (1962), the Americanized edit (under Corman's lead) of Soviet film Nebo Zovyot (1959), it was intended as a science fiction-themed interpolation of The Magnificent Seven (1960; itself a Western film version of Seven Samurai (1954])) in outer space.
In keeping with Corman's longstanding cultivation of emergent talents, the screenplay was written by John Sayles (then transitioning from an aborted literary career under the producer's aegis), with an early score from James Horner and special effects designed by nascent filmmaker James Cameron. The film was theatrically released by Corman's New World Pictures and was a moderate box office success, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics.
