Just as the death of Kirk’s father kicked off Star Trek, I have to assume the Enterprise crashing is the opening attention grabber in J.J. Abrams‘ Star Trek into Darkness considering it’s been the focus of all the trailers and has now been placed front-and-center on a new poster for the film.
When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.
With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man (Benedict Cumberbatch) weapon of mass destruction.
As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
