　　邪恶的可汗逃脱十五年前被被科克船长拘禁的星球，他本是一位智勇双全的领袖，但此刻已变成一个邪恶疯狂的人，他誓言要向科克船长讨回血仇。于是他先劫持了一艘联邦战舰，后又偷取了科克船长的儿子和旧情人制造的毁灭性武器，并引诱企业号投入他精心设计的陷阱......


　　星艦奇航第二集電影「星戰大怒吼(The Wrath of Khan poster)」是延續「星際爭霸戰(TOS)」其中一集的劇情。該集稱作「太空種子」，敘述一九九六年基因戰爭爆發﹝當然，星艦奇航的世界史和我們是不一樣的。﹞後，一名叫可汗的邪惡領袖和他的屬下們被強制冬眠放逐到外太空，兩百七十年後，企業號的成員們恢復他們的意識，但可汗竟然想佔領企業號！這計謀當然沒有成功，最後這批人被寇克艦長放逐到一個無人居住的星球。

　　電影劇本寫完後，在第一集就表示不再演出星艦奇航的李昂納‧尼摩伊堅持不肯再演第二集，但是沒有史巴克的星艦奇航怎麼還能叫星艦奇航呢？最後編劇開出一個條件，他表示戲末會讓史巴克犧牲，從此李昂納‧尼摩伊就不需要再為此事煩惱，於是李昂納‧尼摩伊答應最後一次演出史巴克，所有的人都認為這將是星艦奇航的最後一部電影。

　　試映會的結果讓所有的演員和編劇嚇了一大跳，觀眾們看著史巴克的死，全場靜默無聲，結束時大家就默默地離開，好像參加了一場喪禮一般。「天啊！我們做了什麼？」編劇心想。最後決定修改片尾，加上史巴克的太空葬禮，也讓李昂納‧尼摩伊以史巴克的身份在片尾重申企業號的任務：「宇宙，人類的終極邊疆....」再再表示史巴克有可能會回來。

　　電影的一開始，企業號的主要船員們都在艦橋上，唯一不同的是艦長換成一位瓦肯女軍官－－莎維可。她正接到誤入克林貢帝國領域的貨船「小林丸號」的求救信號，莎維可決定讓企業號越過中立區救人。不料到了克林貢帝國領域才發現，求救訊號竟然是假的！企業號遭到猛烈的攻擊，所有人一個個死亡，只剩下莎維可絕望地下達棄船的命令。原來這是一場稱為「小林丸事件」的演習，它讓受測者處在一個完全絕望的情況中，看看受測者能做出什麼樣的反應。

　　另一方面，為了協助星聯的科學家從事「創世紀計畫」實驗，信望號來到賽塔六號觀察這無人居住的星球，沒想到竟然遇上十幾年前被寇克艦長放逐的可汗！可汗輕而易舉地就抓住了艦長「特瑞爾」和大副「契可夫」，並將一種毒蟲塞進兩人耳朵裡面，只要可汗發出遙控的命令，毒蟲就會開始在他們腦中蠕動，可汗接管了信望號，並要他們兩人殺死寇克將軍。

　　企業號這次出航，本來只是一次例行的實習軍官訓練任務，但是在途中卻突然收到了前妻卡洛‧馬庫斯博士的求救電訊，她表示「創世紀計畫」遭到嚴重的威脅，由於情況緊急，寇克便下令前往「創世紀計畫」的實驗基地。「創世紀計畫」的目的就是試圖從無生命的環境中創造出生命，適於用在無人居住的星球上，「創世紀計畫」的實驗裝置是一個高能量的輻射器，所以如果使用在有人居住的星球上，那麼它將會先摧毀一切，再重新創造出新生命。

　　就在半途中，信望號突然出現在雷達上。寇克試著與信望號聯絡，然而卻沒有得到回應。寇克漸漸起了疑心，趕緊命令全艦進入紅色警戒，但還是遲了一步，信望號開始發動攻擊，一下子便重創了企業號，直到這個時候，螢幕上才出現了信望號的畫面。

　　可汗控制了信望號，迫不及待地開始進行復仇行動。但因為他又想奪取「創世紀計畫」，所以才沒有把企業號擊毀。正當寇克與可汗在談判時，史巴克利用密碼控制了信望號，使它的防護罩降了下來。企業號開始發動攻擊，終於扭轉情勢使得可汗暫時退兵，但企業號的曲速引擊已經幾乎失效，只好慢慢地航向「創世紀計畫」的實驗基地。

　　到達目的地後，寇克將軍、麥考伊醫官與莎維可一起傳送下去，這時發現可汗早就已經來過此地，殺光所有的人。莎維可利用三度儀發現了被鎖在儲物櫃的特瑞爾與契可夫，寇克則找到了基地的傳送室，發現每個傳送器都設定成指向地底的某處，他又想起「創世紀計畫」的第二階段必須在地底進行，便猜到下面應該還有另一個秘密實驗室。於是五個人一起利用基地的傳送器來到地底，果然發現一間密室，而「創世紀計畫」的實驗裝置就藏在這裡。

　　寇克還來不及弄清楚狀況就突然被一個躲在暗處的年輕人偷襲，兩個人立刻扭打成一團。正當雙方僵持不下時，卡洛‧馬庫斯博士卻走了出來說明一切，寇克才知道偷襲自己的人竟然是自己的兒子！接著更令人料想不到的事發生了，特瑞爾與契可夫居然拿起光炮對準大家！原來他們兩人在可汗的控制之下，要他們當場解決寇克。特瑞爾艦長受不了毒蟲帶來的痛苦而舉槍自殺，契可夫也馬上昏迷不醒，可汗則趁著混亂之際將「創世紀計畫」的實驗裝置傳送回信望號。

　　一行人被困在地底，莎維可請教寇克當年如何通過「小林丸事件」，這時她才知道，原來寇克選擇作弊的方式，他修改了電腦的程式，並表示，他永遠都不會輸。一會兒，寇克便拿起通訊器呼叫史巴克，要他馬上把所有的人都傳回去。由於企業號還沒有完全修復，所以在趕上可汗的信望號之後，寇克用計將他引到一團星雲之中，利用星雲的電離子使得雙方感應器與螢幕全都失去功能，才有可能與可汗勢均力敵。經過了一場驚險的對戰，信望號終於沒有了行動能力，所有的武器也都失效。

　　可汗臨死前竟然掙扎著啟動了「創世紀計畫」的實驗裝置，準備與企業號同歸於盡。而企業號的曲速引擎仍未修復，根本無法逃離此地！這時史巴克悄悄地離開艦橋，跑到了引擎室，奮不顧身地走進充滿輻射的反應爐中，徒手修復曲速引擎。企業號逃過一劫，史巴克卻己經奄奄一息，他在臨死前告訴寇克，這就是他對「小林丸事件」的處理方法－－自我犧牲。

　　寇克在企業號上為史巴克舉行了太空葬禮，他的遺體被裝在光雷中射向「創世紀星」，那個小行星由於可汗啟動了「創世紀計畫」的實驗裝置而經過改造，一下子就充滿了生機，史巴克的遺體會在那個星球發生什麼變化，誰也不知道，而寇克說他永遠都不會輸，但犧牲了史巴克，這樣算贏嗎？

剧情

在企業號艦橋上：

史波克、麥考伊、史考特、蘇魯與烏乎拉全都在各自的崗位上，只是艦長卻換成一位瓦肯女軍官--莎維可。她正接到了一艘無武裝貨船「小林丸號」的求救信號，說他們誤闖克林貢星域，已經被幾艘克林貢人的戰艦包圍。莎維可皺著眉頭考慮了一下，便決定讓企業號越過中立區救人。不料到了克林貢人的疆界，才發現求救信號竟然是假的，目的就是要引他們自投羅網。現在企業號已經身陷重圍，接著立刻遭到猛烈的攻擊；所有的人員一個一個倒了下去，只剩下莎維可兀自絕望地下達著棄船的命令……

可是接下來卻有更奇怪的事情發生了--寇克將軍突然從側門走進艦橋，而倒下去的人員也一下子都活了過來。原來這只是一場模擬室中的演習而已。寇克還特別告訴莎維可，這個代號「小林丸情狀」的演習是個很特殊的假想狀況，它讓受測者置身於一個完全絕望的環境中，目的就是要測驗他們的領導才能與潛力--看他們此時究竟還能做出什麼的處置。

在另一艘星艦「信望號」上：

為了協助星聯的科學家從事「創世計劃」的實驗，信望號的任務是尋找一顆完全沒有生命的行星充作實驗樣本。當信望號來到西塔六號附近時，發現這顆行星似乎是很好的選擇，於是艦長特瑞爾與大副契可夫便一起傳送下去，開始進行實地探勘。沒想到突然之間，眼前竟出現了當年被寇克艦長放逐的可汗！契可夫還記得很清楚，在「世紀禍根」那個事件中，可汗與他的手下是被放逐到西塔五號行星上，怎麼現在卻跑到這裡來了？

原來在可汗被放逐半年之後，鄰近的西塔六號就無端地爆炸，震波的威力改變了西塔五號的軌道，並且把這個行星表面摧毀成一片窮山惡水的無垠沙漠。可汗的手下也都大半死於這場劇變，只剩下少數人馬劫後餘生，在這裡艱苦地生活了十五年。可汗發下重誓，有生之日一定要找寇克報仇雪恨！而現在終於有機會了！

可汗輕而易舉地就抓住了特瑞爾與契可夫，並且用極端殘忍旳手段對付他們。他把此地僅存的一種毒蟲塞進兩人耳朵裡面，毒蟲便立即爬入大腦皮層；只要可汗發出遙控的命令，毒蟲立刻就會開始在腦中蠕動……

在企業號上：

企業號這次出航，本來只是一次例行的實習軍官訓練任務。可是在途中，寇克卻突然接到了前妻卡洛·馬庫斯博士的求救電訊。她說創世計劃已經遭到嚴重的威脅，他們所有的工作人員全都有生命危險……

看完了這段模糊的電訊，寇克才知道原來卡洛與他們的獨子大衛就是星聯最高機密研究--創世計劃--的主持人。由於情況緊急，寇克便當機立斷，馬上接管了企業號，下令以五級曲速趕往創世計劃的實驗基地--羅格拉一號。

在航行途中，寇克以將軍的身份取得了創世計劃的完整資料，才真正了解了這個實驗的全部內容。這個計劃的確是個名副其實的「創世」實驗，目的就是試圖從無生命的環境中創造出生命！因為生命產生的過程包括了各種複雜的分子重組，所以創世計劃的實驗裝置是一個控制化學反應的高能輻射器。這個稱為「創世機」的裝置，具有無比強大的威力，既可創造生命，當然更能輕而易舉地毀滅任何生命。

正當大家看得出神的時候，信望號星艦卻忽然出現在雷達幕上。寇克試著與信望號聯絡，可是呼叫了好幾次都沒成功。機警的寇克漸漸起了疑心，趕緊命令全艦警戒；然而他還是遲了一步，信望號已經開始發動攻擊，一下子就使企業號受到重創。直到這個時候，艦橋的螢光幕上才終於出現了對方的畫面。

指揮信望號的竟然是可汗！他挾持著特瑞爾與契可夫，控制了整個信望號，就迫不及待地開始進行復仇行動。但因為他又貪心地想奪取創世計劃的秘密，所以才沒有把企業號擊毀。正當寇克與可汗在談判周旋時，史波克利用密碼遙控了信望號，及時降下它的防護罩。企業號則趁機使出最後的威力發動奇襲，才終於扳成了兩敗俱傷的局勢，逼使可汗暫時退兵。

現在企業號的曲速引擊已經完全失效，只好啟動普通引擊慢慢航向羅格拉一號。到達目的地後，寇克立刻率領麥考伊與莎維可一起傳送下去，可惜卻仍然來晚了一步--可汗早就血洗此地，留下了遍地的死屍；不過從現場的情況研判，可汗顯然什麼東西也沒找到。

此時莎維可利用三度儀，發現了被鎖在儲物櫃內的特瑞爾與契可夫，兩人的情況居然還不錯。寇克則找到了基地的傳送室，發現每個傳送器都設定成指向地心深處，又想起來創世計劃的第二階段應在地底進行，便猜到下面應該還有另一個秘密實驗室。正好史波克通知寇克輔助動力還要「兩天」才能修復，現在甚至沒有辦法再將他們傳送回來，寇克便決定繼續走下去看看。於是五個人一起利用基地的傳送器來到地底，果然發現下面還有一間密室，而創世機也真的就藏在這裡。

寇克還來不及弄清楚周遭的狀況，就突然被一個躲在暗處的年輕人偷襲，兩個人立刻扭打成一團。正當雙方打得難解難分之際，卡洛博士卻走了出來，寇克這才知道自己正在跟親生兒子打架。接著更出人意料的事又發生了，特瑞爾與契可夫居然拿起光炮對準大家！原來他們兩人仍然在可汗的控制之下。不過當可汗傳來命令，要兩人當場槍決寇克的時候，他們卻寧死不從。特瑞爾艦長受不了毒蟲噬腦的痛苦而舉槍自殺，契可夫也馬上昏迷不醒，可汗則趁著這個混亂的場面，利用信望號的傳送器把創世機給偷走了。

然而寇克倒是臨危不亂，他安撫其他人說，反正還有兩天才能回到企業號，索性大家就趁這個機會好好休息一下。卡洛博士則順便介紹了創世計劃的進展，她領頭走進一個「創世紀」的的模型洞穴，裡面居然是美如伊甸園的風光。正當大家陶醉在這個仙境般的天然花園時，寇克卻突然拿起通訊器呼叫史波克，叫他馬上把所有的人都傳回去。

原來寇克早就料到可汗還在附近，便將計就計，故意用密碼與史波克聯絡，好讓可汗誤以為他們會在此地困上兩天，其實「兩天」就是兩個小時的意思。

由於企業號還沒有完全修復，所以在趕上可汗的信望號之後，又再度用計將他引到一團雲層之中--如此兩方的感應器與螢光幕全部失靈，才有可能與可汗勢均力敵。經過了一場驚險萬分的激戰，最後終於逮到機會，給予信望號致命的一擊。

可是已經瘋狂的可汗卻臨死也不忘復仇，他竟然還掙扎著啟動了創世機，準備與企業號同歸於盡。而企業號的曲速引擎仍未修復，等到高能的創世波發射出來之後，大家就只有等死的份了！

這時史波克悄悄地離開艦橋，跑到了引擎室，奮不顧身地走進充滿輻射的反應室中，試圖徒手修復曲速引擎。就在千鈞一髮之際，他終於成功了！企業號立刻加速逃過一劫，史波克卻己奄奄一息。在臨死前他還不忘告訴寇克，這就是他自己對「小林丸情狀」的處置--自我犧牲……

寇克在企業號上為史波克舉行了隆重的太空葬禮，把他的遺體射到了臨近的「創世星」--那個小行星由於創世波的改造，一下子就變得生氣盎然。大家都有一個心願，希望奇蹟也會出現在史波克的身上。


It is the 23rd century and a female Vulcan Starfleet officer is in command of the starship Enterprise. While the senior crew work at their posts on the bridge, the Vulcan officer, Saavik, makes a log entry.

"Captain's log, stardate 8130.3. Starship Enterprise on training mission to Gamma Hydra. Section 14, coordinates 22-87-4. Approaching Neutral Zone, all systems normal and functioning."

When Lieutenant Commander Sulu reports that the ship is entering Section 15, Saavik orders him to project a parabolic course in order to avoid the Neutral Zone. At her station, Uhura receives a distress call from the Kobayashi Maru, a fuel carrier which has struck a gravitic mine in close proximity to Altair VI. As the signal begins to break up, the captain of the damaged vessel reveals that his ship is in the neutral zone. Even with Sulu's reluctance to enter the zone, Saavik orders the helm officer to set an intercept course. When Spock informs her that Enterprise is now in violation of treaty, Saavik contacts the transporter room and asks for preparations to be made for retrieving the survivors. Uhura loses the distress signal and the computer reports the arrival of three Klingon cruisers. Saavik orders the crew to man battlestations and to raise the shields. Although Uhura attempts to notify the Klingon vessels that Enterprise is on a rescue mission, the crews on the ships are jamming all communication channels. The enemy ships fire photon torpedoes, heavily damaging the Enterprise and killing the crew, including Spock.

Eventually, Saavik orders the launch of Enterprise's log buoy and escape pods, which will carry the surviving crew away from the starship. From an unseen source, the filtered voice of Admiral Kirk is heard. The viewscreen of the "bridge" slides across, revealing a lighted room beyond. After Kirk strides through the opening, Saavik asks him for advice. The admiral replies that prayer would be the best course of action, as Klingons don't take prisoners. Standing up, Spock orders the trainees to the briefing room and leaves with the cadets. Saavik argues that the simulation was not a fair test of her command abilities, because there was no way to win. However, Kirk replies that a no-win situation is one which every captain may face and that the way in which someone deals with death is equally as important as how they face life. These thoughts didn't occur to Saavik, who says she will now spend time thinking about them. Dr. McCoy suggests that an experienced crew may serve more efficiently on the Enterprise but Kirk retorts that "galloping around the cosmos is a game for the young". Offended by the admiral's comment, Uhura indicates her displeasure.

Outside the bridge simulator, Spock is waiting for Kirk's approval of the trainee cadets. When the admiral comments that the cadets destroyed the simulator room, Spock reminds him that the Kobayashi Maru scenario frequently results in such a situation - noting that Kirk took the test three times, his final solution being somewhat "unique". The admiral thanks Spock for an antique written copy of "A Tale of Two Cities", which the Vulcan had given to Kirk as a birthday gift. They hear a voice report that a shuttle which is waiting for Spock will leave for Enterprise - the real Enterprise - in 15 minutes, prior to Kirk's inspection later. Kirk says he is returning home and enters a turbolift.

In Kirk's quarters on Earth, Dr. McCoy arrives and presents a bottle of Romulan ale to the admiral as a birthday gift. When Kirk comments that the drink is illegal in Federation space, McCoy replies that he only uses it for medicinal purposes. With difficulty, the captain reads a label on the bottle and realizes the drink is from 2283, two years ago. McCoy explains that Romulan ale takes a long time to ferment and, taking the bottle from Kirk, pours the drink into two beer mugs. Meanwhile, Kirk opens another of Dr. McCoy's gifts - a pair of antique 18th century gold-rimmed eye-glasses. Kirk has an allergy to Retinax V - the treatment McCoy would normally prescribe for the captain's eye condition - so McCoy gave him a pair of spectacles, instead. Together, they drink from the beer mugs, Kirk discovering that Romulan ale is a potent beverage. Lost for words, the captain wonders what he should say. When McCoy suggests "thank you", Kirk repeats the phrase. As they continue to drink the ale, McCoy attempts to persuade Kirk to get back into a command position aboard a starship.

A planet in the Ceti Alpha system

A planet in the Ceti Alpha system

Meanwhile, Commander Chekov is on board the USS Reliant. As the vessel heads toward a planet in the Ceti Alpha star system, the commander makes a log entry.

"Starship log, stardate 8130.4. Log entry by First Officer Pavel Chekov. Starship Reliant on orbital approach to Ceti Alpha VI, in connection with Project Genesis. We are continuing our search for a lifeless planet, to satisfy the requirements of a test site for the Genesis experiment. So far, no success."

Captain Clark Terrell orders the helm officer to maneuver the Reliant into a standard orbit of the planet and Mister Beach reports on the results of the surface scan. Ceti Alpha VI has a limited atmosphere, dominated by craylon gas, sand and high velocity winds - in short, it is incapable of supporting lifeforms. Chekov fears that the planet may not pass the requirements for the Genesis experiment. He explains that the Reliant has detected a minor energy flux reading on one dynoscanner, which could indicate the presence of life. When Terrell suggests that the scanner may be out of adjustment, Chekov theorizes that the energy flux could simply be a particle of preanimate matter. The captain orders Commander Kyle to contact Dr. Carol Marcus, the inventor of Project Genesis, using the comm-pic. Perhaps the source of the energy flux is something that can be transplanted off the planet. However, Chekov believes that Marcus' response is inevitable.

Regula I, in orbit of Regula

Regula I, in orbit of Regula

Near the Mutara Nebula, the space station Regula I slowly continues its orbit of Regula, a barren planetoid. Aboard the station, Carol Marcus is inquisitively wary. She warns Chekov and Captain Terrell that if even a microbe is found on the surface of the planet, Reliant will have to continue its search. When she cautiously permits an away team from the starship to beam down, Terrell enthusiastically interrupts, indicating that he and Chekov will go. Carol Marcus gazes at her son, David, who deactivates the Com-pic.

Walking through a corridor, David assures his mother that Project Genesis will be successful. He tells her not to worry and opines that she will be remembered in the same breath as Newton, Einstein and Surak. Carol Marcus reacts with mock outrage at her son's supposedly disrespectful comment. As they stop walking, David asks his mother if she will team up with him for a game of bridge following their dinner. After she gives an indefinite answer, Carol Marcus sees that something is bothering her son. David reveals that he feels nervous every time the crew of Regula I become involved with Starfleet. He fears that Project Genesis could be used as a weapon of mass destruction, killing life rather than creating it. Recalling an "overgrown boy scout" that his mother once knew, David begins to say something before Carol Marcus interrupts him. She maintains that James Kirk was never a "boy scout" and walks into another room.

As the starship Reliant continues its orbit of a planet in the Ceti Alpha system, Captain Terrell and Commander Chekov beam down to the planet's surface. Upon arrival, fighting through the clouds of dust blowing across the surface, Captain Terrell comments that he "can't see a thing in this dust" to which Chekov replies, "This is the garden spot of Ceti Alpha VI". Soon after, they discover and enter what seems to be a crashed derelict vessel. Upon investigation, however, it is revealed that the "derelict" is none other than the SS Botany Bay, a ship Chekov remembers all too well. Panicking, he rushes Terrell toward the exit....

On board the Reliant, Commander Kyle is attempting to contact either his Captain, or Chekov, with limited success. On the planet below, however, a scene far sinister than Terrell and Chekov could expect is unfolding. After they are bustled back into the interior of the crashed Botany Bay, their captor reveals himself... as none other than the late 20th century genetically engineered criminal genius, Khan Noonien Singh. Remarking to Terrell simply, "I don't know you," Khan moves on to Chekov, whom he remembers from his short time spent aboard the Enterprise in 2267. It only takes a few seconds for him to retrieve Chekov's name from the depths of his memory. After questioning Terrell and Chekov for several minutes as to why they are present on the planet, also "enlightening" the Captain as to his history regarding Chekov (his story is rather twisted from the truth, evidence of his irrational vendetta against James T. Kirk), it is revealed that they beamed down to the planet believing it to be Ceti Alpha VI, a fact which causes Khan to temporarily fly into a rage, screaming "This is Ceti Alpha V!" Khan then inserts juvenile Ceti eels into their ears in order to render them subservient to his every command. Afterward, he calmly asks them, "Now tell me, why are you here? And where can I find James Kirk?"

Commander Chekov lures Admiral Kirk to Regula I by telling Carol Marcus that Kirk has ordered them to give the Reliant the Genesis Device. Naturally she immediately contacts the Admiral, but the connection is so bad her messages fades out and Kirk has no choice but to go to Regula.

When the Enterprise arrives at Regula, they find the Reliant waiting for them. Thinking the other Federation vessel is friendly, Kirk is reticent to raise his shields, which proves to be a tactical mistake. The Reliant opens fire on the Enterprise's engine room, sending the trainees scurrying for cover. The Enterprise returns fire, but the damage is done. Main power is down, weapons barely functioning, and Khan himself is on the viewscreen, demanding Kirk's surrender. Admiral Kirk delays Khan long enough to use get the Reliant's command codes to drop her shields. Quickly the Enterprise damages the Reliant and takes off for cover from the Regula asteroid.

Upon arriving at the Regula I station, Kirk and the away team find that no one is left alive. As they are dragging the bodies out of hiding, they find Chekov and Captain Terrell inside a compartment. The two relate the horrible story of finding Khan and their subsquent infestation.

Exploring the station leads the away team to a transporter that had recently been activated. Checking the coordinates, Kirk realizes they beamed into the Regula asteroid and follows, finding himself and the team inside a chamber. There is the Genesis Device, but before Kirk can move, he is attacked by none other than his son, David Marcus, who accuses Kirk of trying to steal the Genesis Device. His mother, Dr. Marcus, tells David that "of course he didn't", referring to Kirk.

Captain Terrell gives into Khan's commands and tries to attack Kirk after giving Khan the Genesis Device, but the worm has finally made him unhinge, and he turns his phaser on himself. Chekov tries to complete Khan's request now, but collapses, and the worm crawls out of his ear where it's immediately burned up by Kirk's weapon. Khan is shocked to hear Kirk yelling at him on the communicator, and Khan vows to leave him on Regula as he "left her" - his wife. Kirk, screams at him, "KHHHHHAAAAAANNN!!", and breaks contact.

Carol Marcus explains the Starfleet Corps of Engineerings spent 18 months digging out the asteroid, and the smaller Genesis Device filled the cave with a stable ecosystem in days. They have enough food there to survive the rest of their lives as long as the Reliant doesn't find them.

Kirk contacts the Enterprise to find that it will be literally days before transporters, weapons, shields, and even warp drive will be repaired. He instructs the Enterprise to leave and warn Starfleet if they can't repair the transporters in time. Unknown to them it seems, Kahn is listening in.

After a mere two hours, he contacts the Enterprise again and is of course completely unsurprised to know that transporters are back, minimal shields, weapons, and even impulse drive. He explains to a surprised Saavik as they transport aboard, that when enemy is monitoring communications, you always speak in code. Hours become days, days become weeks, weeks turn into months.

Unfortunately, the Enterprise can't outrun the far less damaged Reliant, so Kirk takes refuge in the nearby Mutara Nebula, whose ionized gases disrupt shields, targeting scanners, and the viewscreen. The Reliant pursues, and quickly it becomes a game of cat-and-mouse, with each ship sniping at each other but missing.

As Kirk is watching the viewscreen, waiting to see the Reliant, in front of the ship appears a shape - it's the Reliant! He orders the Enterprise to turn out of the way, but again he's just a step behind - the enemy opens fire, blowing up one of the Enterprise's photon torpedo bays. Firing phasers does very little, and the Enterprise limps away yet again, even worse off - warp drive is down again. The engine room is flooded with radiation, as a barely conscious Scotty warns Kirk before collapsing.

Spock notices that despite Khan's intelligence, he's not used to fighting in 3 dimensions - X, Y, and Z. Kirk realizes the implications and orders Sulu to take the Enterprise below and then behind the Reliant. Now in the prime positon, Kirk orders Chekov to fire! The first shot blows up the torpedo bays and the second destroys their right nacelle. The Reliant, now crippled, crawls away trailing plasma. On the Reliant's bridge, Khan watches as his crew dies around him. He himself is badly injured, his hand and face burned from plasma fires.

Kirk contacts Khan and demands his surrender, but Khan will have nothing to do with that. If he can't have Genesis, then no one will, and better that Kirk die with him than get away. He sets off a cascade in the Genesis Device, but the Enterprise can't escape; the engine room is flooded and the warp drive is down. Spock slips out of the bridge, unnoticed. Kirk orders the Enterprise to flee with the "best possible speed.", to which Khan watches with satisfaction. "No, Kirk, you can't get away. From hell's heart...I stab at thee. For hate's sake I spit my last breath...at thee." As he finishes, he slumps to the deck and dies, never seeing the Enterprise get away.

In the engine room, McCoy stops Spock from entering, saying "No human can survive in there!", to which Spock replies, "As you are so fond of pointing out, Doctor, I am not human." Still, McCoy refuses to let Spock in, so he incapacitates him, telling him he doesn't have time to argue and transfers to him his katra. He knows that even though he's not human, the radiation will eventually kill him. This is his sacrifice to save the crew, as the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

On the bridge, Sulu exlaims the warp drive is back, full power, and Kirk thanks Scotty before telling Sulu to "go!" The Enterprise streaks away just as the Genesis Device explodes, creating the Genesis Planet behind them in a beautiful explosion that nearly catches up with the ship.

McCoy, who has woken up, contacts the bridge and tells Kirk to get down there. Before he even goes, he sees the empty science station chair and knows what happened...

Kirk sees Spock in the engine room, disfigured, and dying of radiation poisioning, but McCoy and Scotty won't let him enter the room as "he's dead already." Kirk calls Spock's name and realizes when he turns, that Spock is now blinded. He follows the dying Vulcan around the side of the glass, finally resting against it, unable to believe Spock is in there, dying.

Spock tries to explain to Kirk his reasons: "Don't grieve, Admiral...it's logical...the needs... of the many...outweigh-", to which Kirk replies, "The needs of the few", and Spock nods. "Or the one..."

Kirk, choked up with grief, can't reply. "I have been...and will continue to be...your friend. Live long...and prosper." He holds out his hand, in the tradional Vulcan way, and Kirk presses his hand up to the glass as well, watching as Spock slumps to the floor, dead. It takes all of his resolve to keep his composure as he sees his closest friend die in front of him. This time there is no going back.

Spocks funeral is held later, on the torpedo deck. Kirk takes a moment to figure out what to say, what would befit Spock, and finally settles on, "Out of all the souls I've encountered in my travels, his is the most...human." Spock's body, encased in a torpedo tube, is sent out into space and lands on the Genesis Planet in a fitting end.

Background Information

Publicity shot of the Enterprise
Enlarge
Publicity shot of the Enterprise
  • Working titles included: The War of The Generations (Bennett's original two-page outline), The Omega Syndrome, The Genesis Project, Worlds That Never Were (this script by Peeples totally discarded the Khan character and plot and involved two aliens from an alternate dimension) The Undiscovered Country, The Vengeance of Khan.
  • Several items were cut from the original script draft, including the revelation that Saavik was of joint Vulcan and Romulan lineage (something picked up by the Pocket TOS series of novels, including "The Pandora Principle"), and a relationship between Saavik and David Marcus. Both remained in the novelization.
  • Cadet Peter Preston's relation as nephew to Scotty was removed from the theatrical release, but was included in a televised version broadcast by ABC. The scene was restored in the Special Edition DVD release.
  • Leonard Nimoy had intended Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan to be his final appearance as Spock, however, Harve Bennett suggested the "Remember" sequence as a possible get-out clause, should Nimoy decide to return to the role.
  • This is the first apparance of the red jacket uniform.
  • Many of the outer space scenes in the first half of the movie are reused from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. These include the Klingon battlecruisers in the Kobayashi Maru sequence, the Enterprise's departure from drydock and footage of her going to warp.
  • Khan's remark to Chekov, "I never forget a face," is somewhat ironic, since Khan's appearance in TOS: "Space Seed" was in the first season... and Chekov did not make his first appearance until TOS' second season. It is possible, however, that Chekov was on the Enterprise at the time and Khan had seen him offscreen. In fact, as noted on the Special Edition DVD's text commentary, Walter Koenig often joked (at conventions and in interviews) that his character had made Khan wait overly long to use a bathroom on Khan's visit to the Enterprise and that was why Khan remembered his face so well.
  • At a high level the characters of Khan and Kirk can be seen, respectively, as Captain Ahab and the great white whale from the novel Moby Dick (which was found among Khan's possessions). Khan quoted several lines from the novel almost exactly (even down to his dying curse). The ambiguous allegorical nature of the novel was not reproduced in the film, however.
  • The film earned $14,347,221 at the US box office in its opening weekend, a record at the time.
