The film was released on July 11, 1997 by Sony Pictures. It received positive reviews from critics and audiences and was a box office bomb, earning only $34.9 million worldwide on a production budget of $55.6 million.

Due to the film's poor performance, The Osamu Tezuka Company acquired Tatsunoko two years later, including the television rights to Space Ace.

Space Ace is the story of a young alien boy named Space Ace (or Ace for short), given to homesick stargazing with the faces of his loved ones ghosted across the heavens. After the worldwide attack by an extraterrestrial race called the Orions, Ace and his friends must stop the Orions in order to save the world and reunite his family.
