Space Marines is a 1996 film directed by John Weidner.

Plot

In the future, space has been colonized. As humanity expanded, the Marine Corps became the Space Force. Col. Fraser, a former Marine officer who has become a pirate, has his pirates hijack a new synthetic explosive. Light and concealable, it is the perfect improvised explosive device. He takes hostages at a local colony to draw out an Earth negotiator, who is escorted by a Marine fire team under the command of Capt. Gray. He then takes him hostage on his ship, as well as the Sgt. in charge of the security detail. After a short space chase, he arrives with demands for gold in exchange for the negotiator's life. Col. Fraser is killed by a new recruit, who shoots him through his own torso, killing them both in the process.
