In the wake of STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE’S divisive release, Paramount put the entire franchise on red alert. Their first step in assembling a crew for the sequel was selecting a new creative lead; Harve Bennett, a television producer on a historic hot streak who had never seen a single episode of Star Trek. How would Bennett’s strong opinions on the franchise affect the already strenuous working relationship between creator Gene Roddenberry and stars Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner?
Kahn Noonan Singh is a forgotten man on a forgotten world. But when an unexpected chance at revenge reveals itself, Kahn will go to extraordinary lengths to destroy the man who marooned him on his planet prison all those years ago: James T Kirk.
Join Nick and Scott as they prepare to dive deep and hang on to the nearest guard rails with New Republic archivist Tim Garcia, this is 1981’s STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KAHN.
