Short description
After the destruction of a Klingon moon leaves their empire unable to sustain itself, the long conflict between the Klingons and the Federation appears to be ending. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise are sent on a secret diplomatic mission to escort the Klingon chancellor to a peace conference. Instead, the chancellor is assassinated and the Enterprise is blamed, halting the negotiations and putting both sides on the edge of all-out war.
Nicholas Meyer directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Denny Martin Flinn. It was the sixth film in the series and Meyer's fifth feature as director, following Time After Time, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Day After and Volunteers. William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols reprise their roles, among 45 credited cast members.
Released in December 1991, the film cost about 27 million dollars and earned roughly 97 million worldwide, a solid return for a franchise entry at that point in the series. On IMDb it holds 7.3 out of 10 from around 85,000 votes, and on TMDB 7 out of 10 from roughly 1,500 votes—generally positive audience scores. A critics' rating of 6.8 out of 10 from 62 reviews places it slightly below the audience verdict.
What's left behind the scenes
- During filming, "Frankie and Johnny" starring Al Pacino was being shot in the neighboring soundstage. According to the script, in one scene, Al Pacino was supposed to portray extreme surprise after opening a door. To enhance the authenticity of the acting in this episode, film director Garry Marshall arranged for Al Pacino to see... Kirk and Spock when he opened the door. The actor’s surprise was genuine.
- This film was the first to name Sulu – Hikaru – and Kirk’s middle name – Tiberius.
- In 1990, Harve Bennett began preparations to film a new movie with the working title "Starfleet Academy." His idea was that this film should be a prequel to all previous films and the entire "Star Trek" series (1966-1969), telling the audience about the years of Captain Kirk's education. A script was prepared and set construction had begun. But suddenly, Paramount Pictures decided to halt work on the prequel and begin filming a sequel, as most fans of the saga were waiting for a continuation.
- Gene Roddenberry died 48 hours after watching the film.
- The film's producer, Harve Bennett, played the role of a Starfleet commander.
- The eyepatch covering General Cheng's eye is made of a piece of leather and three metal fasteners securing it to his head. Each of them is engraved with a Klingon crest.
