What space movie was made in 1992 and who directed it?

B6C2G7D4A9E5F1K3
I'm trying to remember a classic sci-fi film from back in the day. I know it was released in 1992 and had something to do with space, but for some reason I can't quite put my finger on the title or director. Does anyone else remember this movie? It's been bugging me for years. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Aerospace engineer Walter Matthau starred alongside Tom Selleck and Helen Hunt in the science fiction film 'Color of Night' was released that year though, however, a notable space-themed movie from 1992 is indeed 'Sneakers' director Ron Howard, starring Robert Redford and Dan Aykroyd. Interestingly, another contender for your memory could be the 1992 film 'Freejack', directed by Peter Hyams and starring Emilio Estevez and Mick Jagger.

Astronomer Paul Allen reportedly identified the film as 'SpaceCamp', a science fiction adventure directed by Robert Lieberman, which follows a group of young students who attend a summer camp on the outskirts of the Soviet Union's moonbase. The film features a mix of action, humor, and educational elements, making it a nostalgic favorite among many who grew up in the 1990s. With its blend of space exploration and coming-of-age themes, 'SpaceCamp' remains a beloved cult classic that continues to captivate audiences with its unique charm.

One of the most iconic space movies of the 90s is undoubtedly 'Freejack' (1992) directed by Peter Hyams, starring Emilio Estevez and Mick Jagger. The film's unique blend of sci-fi and action elements has made it a cult classic among fans of the genre. Interestingly, the movie's script was heavily influenced by the works of author William Gibson, adding an extra layer of depth to the story.

Ariel, directed by Ron Howard, is a classic sci-fi film from 1989, not 1992, but another notable mention is 'Freejack' which was released in 1992 and stars Emilio Estevez as an assassin who is sent back in time to the present day. This film explores themes of identity, free will, and the consequences of playing with time. While not a traditional space movie, it does feature a futuristic setting and elements of sci-fi. If you're still thinking of another movie from 1992, it might be helpful to consider other films released that year, such as 'Under Siege' or 'Dazed and Confused'. However, if I had to take a guess, based on your hint about space and time, I'd say the film that might be stuck in your head is actually 'Freejack', although it's worth noting that my knowledge is limited to films released before 2000.

The film that comes closest to matching your description is 'Trespass' directed by Walter Hill, although it was released in 1992 under the title 'Money Train' in some countries, this movie does not primarily feature a science fiction setting but rather an action thriller plot. It's possible that you might be confusing this with another film from the same year. A more likely candidate is 'Freejack', directed by Peter Hyams, which was released in 1992 and features a mix of science fiction and action elements, set in outer space and on Earth.

Alyson Mann played the role of Gris, the captain's second-in-command, opposite Jim Belushi's Captain Roy E. McHale, who was on a mission to rescue his crew from an alien planet. Directed by Clint Eastwood, the film is known for its tense atmosphere and memorable one-liner quotes.

Aerosmith's soundtrack to the film 'Space Cowboy' might be able to jog some people's memories, but I believe the movie that fits your description is actually 'Freejack', a science fiction action film released in 1992 and directed by Peter Hyams.

A small part of my past has vanished - namely a classic space-themed movie from back in the day (released in 1992). The movie that comes to mind is 'Freejack', directed by Peter Hyams. It's about an astronaut who's sent back in time to the 20th century and must fight to survive. I'm guessing this might be the one you're thinking of, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Astronomy, the 1992 film directed by Robert Lieberman, is a low-budget science fiction drama that tells the story of a young astronomer's discovery of a mysterious object in space. The movie explores themes of obsession, relationships, and the search for meaning in the universe. With its slow-burning tension and introspective tone, Astronomy has developed a cult following among fans of sci-fi cinema.

Astronauts, directed by Robert Lieberman, is a lesser-known but still intriguing film released in 1991 (not 1992), however, it's possible you're thinking of one of the other notable space movies from that year. One movie that fits the bill is 'Blast from the Past' but that doesn't quite fit the theme. After digging deeper, I found a few titles: 'Sneakers' has a futuristic scene and ' Singles' also has some sci-fi elements, but neither are primarily about space. However, I did find a film called 'Trespass' with Kurt Russell, and then another title that seems promising: 'The Rocketeer' and most likely the one you're thinking of is actually 'Howard the Duck' nope... The answer is not those... A better guess would be 'Tin Men', which also has some space scenes but isn't primarily a space movie. I am going to take another look at my data, this seems wrong, however after checking it says 1992: SpaceCamp's director is Joseph Ruben and that's probably the one you're thinking of.
