Overview
About the Film
Star Trek Beyond is a 2016 American science fiction action film directed by Justin Lin, the third installment in the rebooted Star Trek franchise. Three years into their five-year mission, the Enterprise crew responds to a distress call that leads them into a trap set by Krall, played by Idris Elba, a former Starfleet captain turned warlord who commands a swarm of drone ships that tear the Enterprise apart, stranding the crew on Krall's planet. Co-written by Simon Pegg, Star Trek Beyond recaptured the spirit of the original television series more effectively than its predecessors, emphasizing the ensemble dynamics, frontier exploration, and philosophical themes that defined Gene Roddenberry's vision.
The destruction of the Enterprise — the franchise's most sacred icon — was a bold narrative choice that gave the stranded crew compelling challenges. The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" was ingeniously weaponized as a literal weapon against the swarm fleet. Star Trek Beyond earned $343 million worldwide on a $185 million budget.
