Movie Description
In STAR TREK VI - THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, the cold war between the Federation and the Klingons thaws out when the leader of the crumbling alien empire makes a peace offering. Admiral Kirk (Willliam Shatner) and the crew are quickly sent to escort the Klingon ruler to treaty talks, but they unknowingly stumble into the middle of a political assassination--and soon Kirk and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) are framed for the dignitary's murder. Sent off to a frozen gulag planet, the two plot their escape while Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and the rest of the old gang try to find out who the real killer is. The future of the intergalactic peace movement depends on their success.

Editorial Reviews
"...As lively a tale as any Trekkie might want....One more fanciful chapter to this story..."
New York Times - p.C1 - Janet Maslin (12/06/1991)
"...Meyer and Flynn get a fullness back into their characters....STAR TREK VI works so well on its own terms that it looks less like a close than another possible opening..."
Los Angeles Times - Michael Wilmington (12/06/1991)
"It all works: this is a tight, thrilling send-off."
Total Film - James White (04/01/2004)
