While out on routine training maneuvers, a starship encounters a powerful and supposedly exiled foe from the distant past Khan (Ricardo Montalban). Only Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew can stop the MOBY DICK quoting, vengeance-crazed genius from bringing about universal destruction in this warp-speed thrill ride. This second STAR TREK film is a continuation of the plotline begun in episode 27 of the original series The Space Seed and also expertly sets the stage for the next installment with the forboding presence of the Genesis device.
