A group of convicts and outcasts seize an advanced alien spaceship and launch a guerrilla campaign against the oppressive Terran Federation. Their uneasy alliance is tested as they evade pursuit, pursue rebellion, and navigate clashing loyalties in a bleak future.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you value character-driven, morally complex science fiction and can overlook dated effects; Not for you if polished visuals and consistently upbeat adventures matter most.
