JJ Abrams directs this reboot of the popular franchise in this chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members. In the midst of an incredible journey full of optimism, intrigue, comedy and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals born worlds apart. One, James Tiberius Kirk, a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy, a natural-born leader in search of a cause. The other, Spock, grows up on the planet Vulcan, an outcast due to his half-human background, which makes him susceptible to the volatile emotions that Vulcans have long lived without, and yet an ingenious, determined student, who will become the first of his kind accepted into the Starfleet Academy. The film stars Chris Pine as Jim Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and brings back Leonard Nimoy to reprise his role, this time as Spock Prime.
