Man lands his ship on a planet

Movies
1

Movie from 90s probably. Visually pretty good. Not animation. I remember little. Some of this may be wrong…
A man lands his ship on a planet. There are people on it. Scenes that I remember had a lot of sand and maybe some buildings. The man is looking for something, meets some people. Eventually he teams up with a woman and another man (possibly an old man). In one scene, one is trying to fix a device on the ship; another comes and kicks it, and it starts working.
Any help is appreciated.

Lets start with this:

Thanks, but that's too new. I watched mine around 20 years ago.

“Soldier”, 1998?

No, it was definitely an intentional landing by the hero, though the ship could be leased or corporate (or private). The landing and the broken machine scene are the only parts I am 100% sure about.

Maybe the old man was on the ship from the start? Also, the movie may have had some western vibe, in the few scenes I remember. I searched a fair bit on IMDB, surprised it’s this hard to find. Would have guessed it had a respectable budget.

What would you say, did the movie more played in space and inside the ship, or more on the surface of the planet?

Another try: “Ice Pirates” 1984
