The greatest adventure of all time begins with “Star Trek,” the incredible story of a young crew’s maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise. On a journey filled with action, comedy, and cosmic peril, the new recruits must find a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens all of mankind. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk (Chris Pine), is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock (Zachary Quinto), was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before!
Chris Pine (Kirk), Eric Bana (Nero), Anton Yelchin (Chekov), John Cho (Sulu), and Clifton Collins Jr (Ayel) talk "Star Trek," their characters, the original actors who played these roles, and the future of the "Star Trek" franchise.

J.J. Abrams isn't afraid of taking on existing film franchises. In 2006, Abrams was at the helm of "Mission Impossible III," an action-heavy thriller starring Tom Cruise and Philip Seymour Hoffman. A couple of TV series and some producing projects later, he's the man in charge of breathing new life into the decades-old "Star Trek" franchise.
Faran Tahir played the villain Raza in 2008's "Iron Man" but he's switching sides and playing one of the good guys in "Star Trek," one of the most anticipated films of 2009. Not only is Tahir tackling the role of a Federation Captain in this latest addition to the "Star Trek" franchise, he's also stepping into "Star Trek" record books as the first Federation Captain of Middle Eastern descent.
