When people tell me that they want to try Star Trek but have no idea where to start, this is usually what I recommend.
The writer/director Kevin Smith points out that Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is a great movie, regardless of whether you've ever seen Star Trek before, and he's absolutely right. You don't need to have seen the first movie, and despite being a sequel to an episode of the original TV show, this Wrath of Khan equips you with all you need to understand the premise and the plot.
There's this genetically-modified super-human dude named Khan. He and his friends have been marooned on a desolate planet by Starship captain James T Kirk, and he's mad about it. Really, really mad. When a research vessel inadvertently stumbles upon them, Khan seizes his chance to seek revenge.
"Revenge is a dish best served cold... It is very cold... In space."
