The Academy Awards gave Roger Corman an Oscar for lifetime achievement in film, but Roger isn’t done with his life in film. On June 7 Abduction hits theaters with his name on the credits as executive producer. He’s 93 and still making cinematic magic. That should let anyone about to hit the tender age of 80 know that their Hollywood dreams can still happen. You can probably make a film for Roger. Abduction is an action film with a science fiction twist. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:

Quinn (Scott Adkins), a member of a SWAT unit, steps out of a park fountain in an Asian city with no recollection of who he is or where he came from. As he pieces together clues from his past, he vaguely recalls his young daughter, who has been kidnapped. Meanwhile, Connor (Andy On), a former military operative turned gangster-for-hire, discovers that his wife has also disappeared mysteriously in the middle of the night. These two men, with little in common, realize they must work together to find their loved ones and thwart their mysterious abductors.
A series of extraordinary events and dangerous encounters ensue as Quinn and Connor set out on their trek. They discover that aliens live among us, preying on humankind and that the abductions are part of a centuries-long plot. With the help of a local psychiatrist and an eccentric scientist, the two men resolve to take on this merciless, unknown force bent on destroying the human race.
