When a deadly adversary known as John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch) declares war on Starfleet, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) must put their differences aside and lead the USS Enterprise on a mission into Klingon territory to track the dangerous renegade down. Threatening to destroy Earth, it will take everything in the Enterprise arsenal to defeat Khan, including a massive cache of WMDs that could put everyone and everything in the galaxy at peril.
Building on the success of 2009's re-energised Star Trek franchise, J.J. Abrams hurls the Enterprise crew into a galactic space war with one-man super-weapon Cumberbatch, who proves his mettle as a blockbuster bad guy with aplomb. A sensory pummelling from the opening credits, Into Darkness is a sci-fi spectacular of galactic proportions, and with an all-star cast jostling for camera time behind Pine and Quinto, the rapid-fire one-liners come as thick and fast as the sensational SFX sequences.
Star Trek: Into Darkness is a Film programme that first aired in 2013 and has been classified a 12 certificate.
