After the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction.
It is the 23rd century. Admiral James T. Kirk is an instructor at Starfleet Academy and feeling old; the prospect of attending his ship, the USS Enterprise--now a training ship--on a two-week cadet cruise does not make him feel any younger. But the training cruise becomes a deadly serious mission when his nemesis Khan Noonien Singh--infamous conqueror from late 20th century Earth--appears after years of exile. Khan later revealed that the planet Ceti Alpha VI exploded, and shifted the orbit of the fifth planet as a Mars-like haven. He begins capturing Project Genesis, a top secret device holding the power of creation itself, and schemes the utter destruction of Kirk.Written by

There is an Easter Egg on the tactical display that Kirk calls for after beaming up from the Genesis cavern. Two men worked on four of the computer-generated displays for this movie, including the tactical screen. They were Neil Harrington and Steve McAllister. On the tactical screen, the Enterprise is designated "2-LIEN-8". This is Neil backwards (for Neil Jon Harrington), and the number 82 for the release year of the movie. Steve McAllister's nickname was "Snave", and the Reliant was designated "9-Snave-6". 69 is for the year 1969 when McAllister began working for Evans And Sutherland. There has been speculation that there is significance to the name "Kojiro Vance" in the Kobayashi Maru scene, but Harrington has said that it was in the script and so appears that way on-screen.

Alternate Versions
There is a short scene missing in the Network television version when Kirk is in a shuttle, piloted by Sulu, right before docking with the Enterprise. Kirk makes some glib remark about "having (Sulu) at the helm for three weeks...I don't think these kids can steer"; Sulu responds "Well, I'm delighted." But in the theatrical release, Sulu goes on to say, "Well, I'm delighted, anytime to be aboard the Enterprise is a treat." See more »
Okay, let me start out by saying that this is the only Star Trek movie I have ever seen and that I am not a Trekkie at all. In fact, the only reason I decided to see this was because my dad went on about how good it was. And do ya know it, he's right??!! Even if you're not a fan of Star Trek or Sci-fi in general, I still think you'll like this movie, thanks to an excellent performance by Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonian Singh. He is such a great villain, and my favorite of all movie villains ever! Forget Darth Vader, Khan rules, man! I also enjoyed this movie a lot more than any of the Star Wars movies. This film is really 80's, but, hey, every decade has its own style. I've heard that "The Wrath of Khan" is MUCH better than any of the other Star Trek movies, so I guess I won't be seeing them, or maybe I will, to see how bad they really are......anyway, if you like sci-fi, space, comedy, and a little bit of tragedy (actually, the saddest part was when Khan died--where is the Star Trek gang gonna get all their good villains now??) then you should definitely see this movie. Don't expect "Casablanca" or "Citizen Kane," but this is a good movie that practically anyone can love.
4 out of 4 stars for "Khan."
