In the 23rd century, the Starship Enterprise is dispatched to the scene of a giant energy field about to engulf two ships. Capt.

A Federation mission to the planet Ba’ku takes a dangerous turn when a malfunctioning android, Data, takes a cultural task force hostage. When Capt.

When the crew members discover a break-in on their computer, they are forced into a life-or-death battle to stop Shinzon’s Warbird before it can destroy the Earth.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
