They travelled back to where 23rd century man had never gone before. To a mad, crazy, outrageous time. 1986...
William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and the rest of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew take to the skies in one of the most acclaimed and intriguing Star Trek adventures ever. It's the 23rd Century, and a mysterious alien power is threatening Earth by evaporating the oceans and destroying the atmosphere.
In a frantic attempt to save mankind, Kirk and his crew must travel back to 1986 San Francisco where they find a world of punk, pizza and exact-change buses that are as alien as anything they've ever encountered in the far reaches of the galaxy. A thrilling, action-packed mission for the Starship Enterprise!

This has always been a firm favourite of mine out of all the eleven movies that I have seen so far, in fact I would say it is at the top of my list. There isn't a whole lot of action in this film, but what it lacks in action it more than makes up for in humour at the crew of the Enterprise trying to blend in and 'act normal'.
Out of all the Star Trek movies this is the one that I tell people to watch most often as it has such great humour whilst still being a Star Trek movie at the heart of it. Always, always, always well worth a watch.
