At the end of the universe lies the beginning of revenge.

In the year 2285, Admiral James T. Kirk, played by William Shatner, observes a simulation exercise with Captain Spock's recruits. The exercise takes place in San Francisco, where Starfleet trains its future officers. Lieutenant Saavik takes command of the USS Enterprise on a rescue mission. Her goal is to save the crew of the Kobayashi Maru, a damaged ship in need of help. Kirk watches from a distance as the young officer makes her first decisions at the helm, while the others follow the exercise closely.

Quotes by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

  • Ah, Kirk, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in space.
  • [last words] Now. Now, you can't get away. From Hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.
