Stardate: the 23rd Century. Retired Starfleet officers James T. Kirk, Montgomery Scott and Pavel Chekov are guests of honor aboard the newly christened Enterprise-B. A test run takes an unexpected turn, however, when the starship encounters two vessels trapped inside the Nexus, a mysterious energy ribbon. During a perilous rescue attempt, Kirk is swept out into space. Seven decades later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D rescue an El-Aurian named Soran. Unbeknownst to Picard, Soran harbors a deadly plan that includes the destruction of the Enterprise and millions of lives. Now Picard's only hope for the future rests within the Nexus . . . and a legendary captain from the past.

William Shatner has stated that his line "Who am I to argue with the Captain of the Enterprise?" was the hardest line he ever had to deliver.

[Kirk is invited to give a command to the new Enterprise-B]


Kirk:
Take us out.


Chekov:
Very good, sir.


Scotty:
Brought a tear to my eye.


Kirk:
Oh, be quiet.

Continuity: Worf bends over twice when he uncovers Soran.
