Star Trek

ActionAdventureSci-Fi127 min

A reckless Iowa recruit and a disciplined Vulcan are pushed together when a Romulan attack from the future tears through Starfleet’s history. Chris Pine is James T. Kirk, not yet the captain he’ll become, while Zachary Quinto’s Spock is the brilliant young officer whose strict logic keeps colliding with Kirk’s instincts. As the crisis spreads from Earth to Vulcan, the film tracks the early days of the Enterprise crew as they move from academy training to the bridge of a starship under fire. Leonard Nimoy appears as an older Spock, linking the time-travel threat to the saga’s past.
