The picture narrates how the veteran crew of the starship Enterprise NC1701 leaves their retirement in contemplation for facing off a nefarious enemy and they equally must battle the Klingon . It appears Ricardo Montalban as Khan , he is a renegade villain looking for vengeance for his casting away on an abandoned desert planet . Montalban as a megalomaniac evil nasty gives an excellent characterization and he's the fundamental reason for seeing the movie . Admiral Kirk -William Shatner- will confront an old foe , out for revenge.
The movie is essentially a follow-up to television episode ¨Space seed¨ featured by the same protagonists . It's presented James T. Kirk's former sweetheart (Bibi Besch) and his unknown son to the saga , leading to the second part ¨The search of Spock¨ , starred and directed by Leonard Nimoy (Spock) . The screenplay is concentrated about characters more than action-packed and special effects , though there're lots , too . There is also a strong confrontation between Kirk and Khan ; however , they never meet face to face during the movie , all of their interaction is through viewscreens , monitors or communicators . This was because Ricardo Montalban shot his scenes separately from the main production in order to accommodate his schedule of filming the overlong series Fantasy Island (1977) in which he starred for long time . The highlights movie are some creepy and sadist scenes when bugs torture to Zulu (Walter Koenig) , including a little bit of blood and gore . Besides , it has an exciting and climatic ending , taking on the USS Reliant machine war and Enterprise NCC 1701 , similarly to the cold war that will originate a Glasnot theme in ¨Star Trek 6 : the Undiscovery country¨. Others usual saga characters appearing and giving brief appearances are the following ones : Uhura (Michelle Nichols) , Zulu (George Takei) , Scott (James Doohan). The motion picture will appeal to trekkers as well as the neophites .
