Summary

On this episode of The Cine-Files, Steve Morris and John Rocha welcome back movie critic, pundit and massive STAR TREK fan, Scott Mantz, to join them for Part 2 of their exploration of 1986's STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME. Directed by Leonard Nimoy, it is one of the most beloved Star Trek films with the original cast. The film picks up after the events of Star Trek III as the USS Enterprise crew is intent on returning home to Earth to face consequences for their actions. But they find the planet in grave danger from an alien probe attempting to contact now-extinct humpback whales. The crew must travel to Earth's past to find whales who can answer the probe's call and save the galaxy...AGAIN. The film stars William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, and Catherine Hicks. Steve, John and Scott go thru the movie scene by scene to break down the direction, acting, storylines, cinematography, score, action sequences and more.
