The new adventures of the Star-ship Enterprise as it zooms across man's final frontier - space!
Its mission - to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and civilisations, to go boldly where no man has gone before.
The usually imperturbable Mr Spock is shaken to learn from his instruments that the USS Intrepid, with 400 fellow Vulcans aboard, has 'died.' Then comes news that the whole solar system has perished.
Incredibly on the screen looms a fantastic creature 1,000 miles across, setting the vengeful Spock on a suicide course from which he is not expected to return.
