Directed by Walter Hill
Set in the 22nd century, when a battered salvage ship sends out a distress signal, the seasoned crew of the rescue hospital ship Nova-17 responds.

What critics compared Supernova to
For what it's worth, Marshall-Green is the spitting physical and spiritual image of Peter Facinelli, who played the same basic character with the same affliction in producer Walter Hill's studio-mutilated Supernova .
The director of record is the nonexistent Thomas Lee, a name assigned after Walter Hill, whose directing credits include ''Hard Times'' and ''48 Hours'' and whose producing credits include ''Aliens'' and ''Aliens 3,'' distanced himself from the project.
Written and directed by testosterone junkie Walter Hill - who's been on a career nosedive of recent with flops such as "Supernova," "Last Man Standing" and "Wild Bill" after starting off with such promise helming "The Warriors" and "48 Hours" - and stemming from a script he co-wrote with previous collaborator David Giler ("Alien 3," "The Money Pit"), the film offers no surprises.
Co-writer and director Walter Hill ("48 Hrs," "Supernova" ) premeditates this moral and culpable ambiguity, daring the audience to accept these convicts on prison terms, under which it's taboo to ask "What are you in for?"
And you could write a thick book about the problems Hill faced with the captivating, but sliced apart 2000 sci-fi thriller “Supernova” (a film that Hill eventually took his name off of).
A similarly blunt, utilitarian approach informs nearly every frame of Undisputed, the first film made by macho genre specialist Walter Hill since he lost control of (and removed his name from) the 2000 space opera Supernova.
