It is the twenty-third century. Admiral James T. Kirk is feeling old; the prospect of accompanying his old ship the Enterprise--now a Starfleet Academy training ship--on a two-week cadet cruise is not making him feel any younger. But the training cruise becomes a deadly serious mission when Khan appears after years of exile--and holding the power of creation itself.

Adm. James T. Kirk assumes command of the Enterprise and finds himself facing his old nemesis.

The naive son of a U.S. Senator makes a lightening-fast climb up the corporate ladder of a big conglomerate. Script wastes a terrific cast!

Adm. Kirk hijacks the Enterprise to rescue Mr. Spock, whose spirit remains alive on the rapidly degenerating Genesis planet.

A Manhattan writer and her spoiled daughter travel to Louisiana bayou country to research a magazine article about their family and, in the process, unearth some ugly secrets. Good performances and an exciting script!

The film opens with an unfamiliar female character in command of the USS Enterprise. The situation is soon revealed to be, in actuality, what is known as the 'Kobayashi Maru Test', an intentionally no-win situation designed to test the character of officer trainees. The unfamiliar character is introduced as Captain Spock?s prot?g?, Lieutenant Saavik. Admiral James T. Kirk oversees the training session. Aboard the USS Reliant, First officer Pavel Chekov and Captain Clark Terrell are searching for a lifeless planet to serve as a testing ground for an undefined 'Project Genesis.' They beam to the surface of a likely candidate, Ceti Alpha VI, and quickly become captives of Khan Noonien Singh. Khan explains that because of the explosion of Ceti Alpha VI, Ceti Alpha V has suffered an environmental disaster, and is bitter that Kirk did not check on Khan's progress. Khan employs the small offspring of a nasty indigenous animal (known to fans as the 'Ceti Eel')to control Chekov and Terrell and forces them to reveal the details of their mission, and the whereabouts of Admiral Kirk.

Shortly after the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the USS Enterprise carrying the combined crews of both Enterprise and USS Reliant, limps back to Earth, scarred from its battle with Khan. Once there, Admiral James T. Kirk is informed that the obsolete vessel's days are over (it is stated to be 20 years old, but official production timelines place it as about 40 years old, with Kirk's command of the Enterprise being about 20 years); it won't be refitted, but will instead be retired, and its crew reassigned. Meanwhile, Dr. Leonard McCoy exhibits strange behavior, somehow related to the deceased Captain Spock. He even seems to be channeling both Spock's behavior and voice. Simultaneously, Kirk's son Dr. David Marcus and Lieutenant Saavik are now on board the research vessel USS Grissom to explore the Genesis Planet, created at the end of the last film. The two transport down to the planet's surface to explore its terraforming progress. While there, they discover, much to their shock, that Spock's body has been resurrected by the Genesis effect, although his mind is no longer present and he operates on a purely child-like level. Marcus, pressed by Saavik, admits that he used unstable 'proto-matter' in building the Genesis device to solve 'certain problems'. Without it, he claims that the Genesis Project could have been delayed by years or would have never been completed at all. The unstable matter puts the planet in a state of accelerated evolution that will conclude with the planet's premature destruction.
