Space Marines is a 1996 American science fiction film directed by John Weidner and written by Bob Moreland.
In the future, space has been colonized. As humanity expanded, the Marine Corps evolved into the Space Force. Colonel Fraser, a former Marine officer turned pirate, leads his pirates in hijacking a new synthetic explosive. This explosive, both light and concealable, serves as an ideal improvised explosive device. Fraser takes hostages at a local colony to draw out an Earth negotiator, who is escorted by a Marine fire team under the command of Captain "Gray Wolf" Gray. Fraser subsequently takes the negotiator and the Sergeant in charge of the security detail hostage on his ship. Following a brief space chase, Fraser issues demands for gold in exchange for the negotiator's life. Colonel Fraser is ultimately killed by a new recruit, who shoots him through his own torso, resulting in the deaths of both individuals.
