Wikipedia tells us everything we need to know about this lost bit of cinematic exploitation.

Space Raiders, also known as Star Child, is a 1983 space Western film written and directed by Howard R. Cohen and produced by Roger Corman. The film was made during the time when many studios were releasing space opera films following the success of Star Wars, however, the film was panned by critics, especially for its reuse of special effects footage and music (composed by James Horner) taken from Corman's 1980 film Battle Beyond the Stars.

Ben Casey in space!

From the trailer it looks like the evil aliens haven't discovered the trick of recruiting kids for their gunnery stations.
