Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Synopsis & Details

Playing off of the Herman Melville classic “Moby Dick,” Khan is fueled by his vengeance and is able to put his plan into action from a stroke of luck hijacking the U.S.S. Reliant after the ship, unfortunately, visits the planet without realizing its infamous occupants. At the film’s heart is a terraforming device known as Genesis, a device that can breathe new life into a desolate planet or bring destruction to a planet with existing life. Following Khan’s attack on Dr. Carol Marcus’ (Bibi Besch) research facility at Space Station Regula One, it’s up to Kirk & company to stop him in a race against time. Despite the 1982’s critical acclaim, The Wrath of Khan remains only one of five Star Trek films not to break the $100 million mark at the box office garnering $95.8 million globally. The film, written by Jack B. Sowards and Harve Bennett, also starred Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, Merritt Butrick, Paul Winfield, and Kirstie Alley.
