On this day, December 11, 1982, Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann premiered in theaters. Directed by William Dear, this unique sci-fi western starred Fred Ward as Lyle Swann, a motocross racer who accidentally travels back to the Old West during a race.

With Peter Coyote, Belinda Bauer, and Ed Lauter rounding out the cast, the film blended elements of time travel, action, and humor. While it earned $6 million at the box office, Timerider developed a cult following for its creative premise and genre-mixing storytelling.
