Considered by many fans to be the best of the Star Trek films, The Wrath of Khan features legendary performances from leads William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Ricardo Montalban.

As Admiral Kirk (Shatner) and Captain Spock (Nimoy) are training cadets at Starfleet Academy, a Federation science vessel is preparing to test the terraforming Genesis Device on a seemingly desolate planet. In the process, one of Kirk's former officers is captured by Khan (Montalban), who has sworn revenge on Kirk. To avert disaster, Kirk must take command of the Enterprise once more and face down his old nemesis.
