British label Second Sight Films has confirmed that it is preparing a Blu-ray release of director Stuart Gordon's film
Space Truckers (1996), starring Dennis Hopper, Stephen Dorff, Debi Mazar, Charles Dance, and Barbara Crampton. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year.
Synopsis: The Year is 2196. John Canyon is a down-on-his-luck independent trucker trying to keep an honest living transporting loads across the solar system in his rocket powered rig. In a last ditch effort to stay in business rather than being into teaming up with the "Corporation", Canyon joins with Mike Pucci to pull off a dangerous transport - contents unknown. At over five times the going rate, it's an offer they can't refuse. With the help from stowaway the trio set out on an adventure they will never forget.
To make the scheduled deadline, Canyon abandons the usual shipping lanes and heads for the scum cluster - a war zone of bandits, black rocks and rogue asteroids - where they eventually are hi-jacked by the Regalia, a pirate worship headed by Captain Mocanudo. It is here the secret of the mystery containers is revealed and the battle for the universe begins!
