ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (1982)

 

“Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” is a Sci-Fi Action Adventure based on Gene Roddenberry’s original creation, screenplay written by Jack B. Sowards and Nicholas Meyer, story by Harve Bennett, Jack B. Sowards and Samuel A. Peeples and Directed by Nicholas Meyer.

 

At Starfleet Academy in the 23rd century, Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) is feeling his age where he is an instructor and his old command, the USS Enterprise, is now a training ship, but what is making him feel even older is the prospect of attending a two-week cadet cruise.

Nonetheless he seizes the opportunity to get back on the bridge of the Enterprise, however the training cruise soon takes a serious turn.

So, with a predominantly green crew and his old, seasoned crew mates, Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Scotty (James Doohan), Sulu (George Takei), Chekov (Walter Koenig), Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) and an eager young officer cadet Saavik (Kirstie Alley) they head towards peril.

The peril in question comes in the form Kirk’s old nemesis, Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) who appears after years of exile with vengeance in his heart who wants to utterly destroy Kirk.

In the process he captures Project Genesis from its creators (Bibi Besch and Merritt Butrick), a top-secret device holding the power of creation itself, or mass destruction in the wrong hands.
