Moonraker
Moonraker is the title of the 1979 James Bond movie stars Roger Moore as James Bond. It starts with a space shuttle being stolen while being transported.
Megalomaniac Hugo Drax plans to use space shuttles to help him create a master race of genetically perfect humans. These people are brought to a space station. The plan is that all the people on earth will be poisoned and die. Drax can then bring his master race back to earth and repopulate the earth.
Obviously Bond needs to stop this.
Moonraker was heavily influenced by Star Wars which came out 2 years earlier. The whole space station and the fighting in space likely wouldn’t have happened in Moonraker, had Star Wars never existed.
