STAR TREK: NEMESIS [Production Notes]
In the proud tradition of the most successful franchises in
entertainment history, "Star Trek Nemesis" is the latest intergalactic
adventure to join its triumphant predecessors. Growing at
warp speed since its inception in 1966, the Star Trek motion
picture franchise has earned a collective worldwide gross
exceeding $1 billion at the box office and has generated well
over $3.5 billion from consumer products. With the success
of Star Trek: The Experience, a 65,000-square-foot Las Vegas
theme park, which has greeted over 2.2 million visitors since
its launch in 1998, and given the fact that ten "Star Trek"
books are sold every sixty seconds, one thing is universally
clear -- when it comes to "Star Trek" . . . there simply is
no final frontier.
In "Star Trek Nemesis," Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick
Stewart) and the Enterprise crew find themselves on a diplomatic
mission to initiate peace with the Romulans. But upon arrival
on the alien planet, the crew is faced with a threat that
could lead to Earth's destruction, and Picard meets his most
dangerous adversary yet, a surprisingly personal nemesis.

the Starship Enterprise are Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc
Picard), Jonathan Frakes (Commander William T. Riker), Brent
