What space movie came out in 1992 and what is its plot?

I'm trying to recall a classic sci-fi film from my childhood. I vaguely remember it being released in 1992 and it had something to do with outer space, but I'm not sure if that's enough to jog anyone's memory. Can anyone help me figure out what movie this might be?

The Last Starfighter (1992) is a science fiction film directed by Nick Castle, but another possible answer could be 'Freejack' which stars Emilio Estevez as a time-traveling hitman who crash-lands on a distant planet and must fight against an evil alien warlord. However, it's also worth mentioning that the 1992 film 'Sirius' starring William Baldwin, is a sci-fi space drama film directed by Gregory Hoblit, which might be the one you're thinking of.

Astronauts, Alien Encounters, and Space Travel: A Look Back at 'Freejack' (1992) Released in 1992, the science fiction film 'Freejack' starred Emilio Estevez as a hitman who is cryogenically frozen and thawed out centuries later to serve as an assassin on Mars. The movie explores themes of identity, free will, and the consequences of advanced technology on human society. With its unique blend of action, adventure, and sci-fi elements, 'Freejack' offers a fresh perspective on the space travel genre. Despite receiving mixed reviews at the time of its release, the film has since developed a cult following among fans of 90s sci-fi.

One film that stands out from my childhood memory is 'Freejack', however, it was not released until 1992 and its plot revolves around a time-traveling thief, but another possibility could be the short-lived but intriguing sci-fi series 'Earth: Final Conflict', which started airing in 1997, but some people reported watching an episode with a character discussing the movie 'Freejack' in 1993. However, the most fitting answer might be the 1992 film 'Freejack'. Freejack is a science fiction action film directed by Peter Hyams and starring Emilio Estevez. The plot follows the story of Jack Boudicca (Emilio Estevez), a convicted felon who is sentenced to be executed in the year 2019. However, before he can be executed, he is cryogenically frozen and thawed out in 1992, where he becomes embroiled in a plot by a wealthy entrepreneur named Gus Salatin (Robert Forster) to use his body as a clone for himself after the original dies.
