Summary

Star Trek Into Darkness is being billed as an "action thriller" in which the crew of the Enterprise finds an unstoppable force of terror inside Starfleet that has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving Earth in a state of crisis. Captain Kirk has a personal score to settle, and leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. The crew is propelled into an epic chess game of life and death - love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices will have to be made for the only family James Kirk has left: his crew.
