Star Trek is the eleventh film based on the Star Trek franchise and features the main characters of the original Star Trek series who are portrayed by a new cast. In 2233 the Federation star ship USS Kelvin is investigating a lightning storm in space. The Romulan ship Narada emerges from the singularity and attacks the Kelvin. Narada’s first officer Ayel (Clifton Collins Jr) demands that Captain Robau (Faran Tahir) come aboard to discuss a cease fire. Narada’s commander Nero (Eric Bana) kills Robau before resuming the assault on the Kelvin. The Kelvin’s first officer George Kirk (Chris Hemsworth) orders the ship’s personnel evacuated via shuttle craft, including his pregnant wife Winona (Jennifer Morrison). Kirk sacrifices himself by steering the Kelvin on a collision course. Winona and George agree to name their newborn son Jim moments before the collision. Several years later Spock (Jacob Kogan) is growing up on the planet Vulcan, he is discriminated against for being half human. As an adult (Zachary Quinto) he decides to join Starfleet. On Earth James Kirk (Chris Pine) has become a reckless but intelligent young man. After a bar fight involving Uhura (Zoe Saldana) Kirk meets Captain Christopher Pike (Bruce Greenwood), who challenges him to emulate his father’s heroism and join Starfleet. Three years later Commander Spock accuses Starfleet Academy cadet Kirk of cheating during the Kobayashi Maru simulation. The disciplinary hearing is interrupted when Starfleet receives a distress signal from Vulcan. With the primary fleet out of range cadets are mobilized to crew awaiting ships in orbit. Leonard McCoy (Karl Urban) and Kirk board Pike’s command Enterprise. Realizing that the lightning storm observed by Vulcan is similar to the one on the day of his birth, Kirk convinces Pike to stop and evade a trap. The Enterprise arrives at Vulcan to find the rest of the fleet destroyed and the Narada drilling into Vulcan’s core. After the Enterprise is attacked by the Narada, Pike surrenders giving Spock command of the ship and promoting Kirk to first officer. Kirk and Hikaru Sulu (John Cho) perform a space jump onto the drilling platform and disabling it. However it has drilled deep enough for Nero to launch “red matter” into the core creating an artificial black hole. Most of Vulcan’s population is killed as the black hole consumes the planet, including Spock’s mother (Winona Ryder). Nero tortures Pike to gain access to Earth’s perimeter defenses. Kirk is marooned on Delta Vega for mutiny after arguing against Spock’s orders. Kirk encounters Ambassador Spock (Leonard Nimoy) who explains that he and Nero are from the future, 129 years in the future where the galaxy is threatened by a volatile supernova. Spock intended to use red matter to create a black hole to stop it, but the supernova’s nebula destroyed the planet Romulus before he could act. Nero attacked Spock’s vessel with Narada and both were caught in the event horizon of the black hole sending them back in time. Nero captured Spock and stranded him on Delta Vega to watch Vulcan’s destruction. Spock and Kirk walk to a nearby Starfleet outpost where they meet Montgomery Scott (Simon Pegg) who beams onto the Enterprise with Kirk. Following Ambassador Spock’s advice, Kirk confronts Spock and forces him to acknowledge that Spock is emotionally compromised and gives command to Kirk. Kirk and Spock beam aboard the Narada, Kirk rescues Pike while Spock uses Ambassador Spock’s ship to destroy the drill. Spock leads the Narada away from Earth and the Enterprise arrives and beams Kirk, Pike and Spock away. Spock’s ship and the Narada collide igniting the red matter and creating a black hole that destroys the Narada and almost claims the Enterprise. On Earth Kirk is promoted to the rank of captain and given command of the Enterprise while Captain Pike is promoted to rear admiral. Spock encounters his older self in a hangar, Ambassador Spock has selected a planet to colonize for the surviving Vulcans. He dissuades his younger self from resigning from Starfleet to help his species, encouraging him to do what feels right instead of what is logical. Spock remains in Starfleet and becomes first officer under Kirk’s command. The film ends with the Enterprise going to warp as Ambassador Spock narrates the “where no man has gone before” monologue.
