Pirates of the Barracuda Galaxy

Pirates of the Barracuda Galaxy (2024) is a Russian family sci-fi film you can watch online on iFILM. A space pirate banished to Earth hides inside the body of an ordinary schoolboy named Mitya.

To send a signal to his crew, the alien has to reach a repeater hidden on the planet long ago — and he cannot do it alone. Two classmates, Kristina and Kolya, sign on to help. The three of them set off on a journey full of leaps through space: they spend a while as grown-ups, find a spaceship disguised as a village hut, and face off against three sinister old ladies who turn out to be Shadow Pirates.

Yuri Kolokolnikov, Roman Kurtsyn and Lukerya Ilyashenko handle the adult roles and the voice work, while director Anton Bormatov leans on one simple idea: a galaxy-sized catastrophe is solved not by force but by friendship. A bright 92-minute adventure rated 6+ — built for a family night with younger kids. Stream Pirates of the Barracuda Galaxy (2024) online on iFILM.
