Participants are 'Star Command' raw recruits sent to defeat Zurg. The backstory of the ride revolves around the attempts of Evil Emperor Zurg (voiced by Ken Mitchroney in Space Ranger Spin, Tesshō Genda in Astro Blasters at Tokyo Disneyland, Andrew Stanton at Astro Blasters in Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland and Laurent Gamelon in Astro Blasters in Disneyland Paris, and an unknown actor in Planet Rescue) to steal the batteries (known as 'crystallic fusion cells') used to power the space vehicles of the ' Little Green Men' (voiced by Jeff Pidgeon).

For a brief period from the Shanghai version's opening in 2016 until the Hong Kong version's closure in 2017, the attraction was only one of two that could be found at all six Disney castle parks worldwide (the other attraction being Dumbo the Flying Elephant). The ride formerly existed at Hong Kong Disneyland under the name Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, but was closed in September 2017. Although each ride may have a different name, all share the same major plot and characters.

Subsequent versions can be found at Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland, Disneyland Park in Paris, and Shanghai Disneyland. The attraction first opened at Magic Kingdom on November 3, 1998. It is inspired by Disney/ Pixar's Toy Story franchise, and contains several elements loosely based on the cartoon series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, this attraction combines a carnival game and a third-generation Omnimover system. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin (also known as Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters at California, Tokyo and Hong Kong, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast at Paris and Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue at Shanghai) is an interactive shooting dark ride attraction located in the Tomorrowland area of the Disney theme parks.
