Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
ActionAdventureSci-FiThriller105 min
After Spock's death, Admiral Kirk learns from Spock's father that Dr. McCoy is carrying Spock's living essence, sending the Enterprise crew on a mission that means stealing their own ship and defying Starfleet orders. William Shatner's Kirk pulls Bones and the rest of the crew back together as they head for the Genesis planet, where a quarantine is already in place and the stakes are tied to both friendship and duty. DeForest Kelley brings the strain and instability in McCoy to the foreground, while Christopher Lloyd's Klingon commander Kruge turns the chase into a fight over Genesis itself.
