900. STAR TREK
THE MENAGERIE PART 1 & 2.(1966)
"The Menagerie", Star Trek's only two-part episode, won Science
Fiction's Hugo Award as Best Dramatic Television Presentation of
the Year. (Pilot show: Originally titled
"The Cage" star: Jeff Hunter.)

STAR TREK
THE MOTION PICTURE
(1979)
STAR TREK—THE MOTION PICTURE
At $42 million, this science-fiction fantasy carried one of
Hollywood's highest price tags, and filmgoers made it one
of 1979's biggest box-office successes.
One reason was familiarity. Inspired by the popular TV
series that ran on NBC from 1966 to 1969 (and has been
in syndication ever since), "Star Trek—The Motion Pic-
ture" reunites the original cast for an adventure not un-
like many the starship Enterprise had on the small screen:
a desperate mission to save Earth from a menacing—and
extremely powerful—alien intelligence.
And while hard-core "Trekkies" will have every reason
to be pleased, there's more here than just nostalgia, chief-
ly Robert Wise's fine direction, an atmospheric score by
Jerry Goldsmith and some outstanding special effects—
designed by Douglas Trumbull and "Star Wars" veteran
John Dykstra.

STAR TREK II
WRATH OF KHAN (1982)
STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN
Unlike 1979's first "Star Trek" movie, which
some critics deemed plotless, this stellar 1982
sequel boasts an intriguing storyline that Trek-
kies will recognize from a 1967 episode of the
TV series.
It brings together Kirk (William Shatner) and
an old adversary, the sadistic Khan (Ricardo
Montalban, reprising his TV role). Some 15
years have passed since Kirk marooned the
tyrannical ruler and his band of renegades on
a barren planet. Now an admiral and no longer
"galloping around the cosmos," Kirk is con-
tent merely to oversee the daily operations of
the Enterprise, until a routine inspection re-
veals unsettling information. Khan has es-
caped, commandeered a starship and is plot-
ting to take control of the universe—after he
takes revenge on his old enemy.

STAR TREK IV:
THE VOYAGE HOME (1986)
Critics and Trekkies alike hailed this 1986 film as
the best of the four "Star Trek" movies.
After a three-month exile on the planet Vulcan,
where Spock (Leonard Nimoy) has been recu-
perating since his 'rebirth' in "Star Trek III," Ad-
miral Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew head for
Earth to face charges, including a count for the
destruction of the Enterprise.
Aboard their commandeered Klingon vessel,
they receive a distress signal from Star Fleet re-
garding a giant probe that's been neutralizing star-
ships and is threatening Earth. A sound scan
leads Spock to believe that the probe is emitting
cries like those of humpback whales, a species
that has become extinct by the 23rd century.
Theorizing that the probe is awaiting a similar
response, Kirk decides to travel back in time for a
mission that, frankly, mystifies Dr. McCoy (DeFor-
est Kelley): "You propose that we go backward in
time, find some humpback whales, then bring
them forward in time, drop them off and hope they
tell this probe what to do with itself?" Kirk: "That's
the general idea." McCoy: "That's crazy!"
Rated PG for strong language. Nimoy directed.
Gillian: Catherine Hicks. Scotty: James Doohan.
Sulu: George Takei. Chekov: Walter Koenig.
Uhura: Nichelle Nichols. Sarek: Mark Lenard.
