Development of the Film

Plot

In the year 2233, the USS Federation Starship begins investigating a lightning storm in space. Narada, a Romulan ship emerges and suddenly attacks the Kelvins. Narada’s commander Nero played by Eric Bana kills Captain Robau of the USS Kelvin after trying to discuss a ceasefire agreement with him. George Kirk, who is the first officer of Kelvin and the father of James T. Kirk, orders the evacuation of the ship personnel from the spacecraft. However, Kirk makes himself a sacrificial lamb by steering the Kelvin into collision to protect the evacuating shuttlecraft. Years after that incident, young Spock played by Jacob Kogan, grow up on the same planet but is discriminated for being half-human. When he grows up (adult Spock played by Zachary Quinto), he joins the Starfleet. On earth, he meets the young James Kirk (Chris Pine), a smart but reckless young man. Kirk comes across Captain Christopher Pike played by Bruce Greenwood who convinces him to join Starfleet and take on the footsteps of his father. Kirk joins Spock and the rest of the crew on the quest to fight villains threatening the planets of the United Federation. Nero, the old nemesis, attacks the Enterprise and makes Pike surrender. Spock gains command of the ship while Kirk becomes the first officer. Along with Hikaru Sulu played by John Cho and Chief Engineer Olso, they work on to fight Nero and his entire fleet.
