William Shatner worked tirelessly to turn the Star Trek television franchise into movies, but the journey was not without its perils. In this documentary, Shatner captures the trials and tribulations of the project in refreshingly honest detail. Included are interviews with Gene Roddenberry, Leonard Nimoy, Ricardo Montalban and more, plus discussions on the challenges of hewing to a budget and filming during a writer's strike.
