Official Synopsis Revealed for STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS


Don’t worry, spoilerphobes, this new official synopsis for 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness only gives the most bare details. No identification of villain – sorry, those of you who are waiting – or really much of anything besides the main, err, problem, and even that is pretty vague. Enjoy!

“In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness.

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.”

And in case you missed it last month, here is director J.J. Abrams presenting the first clip of the movie, on Conan, followed by a screenshot for your analysis:

We’re expecting a lot more once the first nine minutes and trailer premiere on December 14, which we wish was tomorrow.

Star Trek Into Darkness, starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Simon Pegg, and Anton Yelchin, is slated to hit theaters on May 17, 2013.
