Plot

The film opens with a major political assassination — what appears to be the elimination of the leadership of the Romulan government.

As the crew of the USS Enterprise prepares to bid farewell to longtime first officer William T. Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi, who have just married each other in Alaska, an away team discovers the remnants of an android resembling Lieutenant Commander Data on a planet close to the Romulan Neutral Zone called Kolarus III. The USS Enterprise ( NCC-1701-E or Enterprise -E) is a Fictional Starship in the Star Trek First Officer William Thomas Riker, played by Jonathan Frakes, is a main character on the Science-fiction Television series Star Trek The Deanna Troi (di'ænæ is a main character in the science-fiction TV series Star Trek The Next Generation and related TV series and films An android is a Robot designed to resemble a human usually both in appearance and behavior Lieutenant Commander Data, played by actor Brent Spiner, is a character in the Star Trek Fictional universe. Several films and episodes of the Science fiction franchise Star Trek were set in distinct regions of space. When the android is reassembled, it reveals its name as B-4, a predecessor to Data. This article lists characters in the various canonical incarnations of Star Trek.

The ship is then ordered by Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway to conduct a diplomatic mission to the Romulan Star Empire, which has undergone a military coup and is now controlled by a mysterious young Reman named Praetor Shinzon. The USS Enterprise ( NCC-1701-E or Enterprise -E) is a Fictional Starship in the Star Trek Starfleet ranks and insignia are fictional titles and badges that form the Hierarchy of Starfleet in the Star Trek television shows and movies Kathryn Janeway, played by Kate Mulgrew, is a main character of the Television series Star Trek Voyager. Romulans are an alien species in the Star Trek universe that are related to the Vulcans and are at war or in an uneasy truce with the United Federation of In the fictional Star Trek universe Remans are natives of the planet Remus, resembling bats. Praetor was a title granted by the government of Ancient Rome to men acting in one of two official capacities the commander of an Army, either before This article lists characters in the various canonical incarnations of Star Trek. This is a surprising development, given that Remans are considered something of a "sub-race" to the Romulans who generally use them as slave labor.

Upon their arrival at Romulus, the crew learns of two more surprises: the new leader proves to be a clone of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Cloning in Biology is the process of producing populations of genetically-identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as Bacteria, Insects Jean-Luc Picard is a Star Trek character primarily portrayed by Patrick Stewart. While he claims to want peace, he also unveils his newest ship; a heavily armed warship named Scimitar.

Shinzon's plan soon becomes apparent. Picard has been lured to Romulus to be kidnapped so that a dying Shinzon can receive a genetic transfusion from the source of his DNA. His Scimitar has been designed to destroy Earth and establish himself as the leader of a renewed Romulan Empire. Picard is rescued, with the Enterprise racing back to the Federation with the Scimitar in pursuit.

With the assistance of two Romulan warbirds whose captains and crews now oppose Shinzon, a space battle ensues in which the warbirds are severely damaged and forced to back off. The damaged Enterprise is eventually forced to ram the Scimitar to disable it from continuing on to Earth. Shinzon then activates the Scimitar's superweapon, bent on taking the Enterprise down with him. Picard boards the Scimitar to stop the weapon and ends up fighting Shinzon. The fight ends with Picard victorious but unable to deactivate the weapon. Data arrives and has the captain beamed back to the Enterprise before ultimately sacrificing himself to shut down the weapon and destroy the ship.

While the severely damaged Enterprise is repaired in spacedock, Picard bids farewell to Riker, while dealing with B-4. In a meeting with B-4, Picard learns that Data had copied the seeds of his neural net, giving hope that B-4 may have the same capacity for growth that Data did.

Cast

Deleted scenes

The film, as with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, was cut by about a third from a much longer running time. Star Trek V The Final Frontier ( Paramount Pictures, 1989) is the fifth feature Film based on the Star Trek Science Many of the deleted scenes in the movie were "character moments", which served to further the characters' relationships with one another. Rick Berman has stated that about 50 minutes worth of scenes were filmed, but cut (though not necessarily all of them were usable in a final form, some might be redundant with other scenes, etc. ). Around 17 minutes of deleted scenes were included on the DVD, including:

Nemesis was to have been the first Star Trek film to feature the character of Wesley Crusher (played by actor Wil Wheaton). Wesley Crusher is a character in the television series Star Trek The Next Generation. However, his scenes were almost entirely cut from the film, leaving only a brief cameo during the wedding scene (he is visible at the far end of the head table, with gold trim of operations branch on his dress uniform), in which he has no dialogue; as a result, he has none in the final theatrical print of the film at all. A deleted scene on the collector's edition DVD features a brief conversation between Wesley and Picard that explains that Wesley has returned to Starfleet and is a member of Captain Riker's engineering crew on the USS Titan.

Two "extended ending" clips were included on the two-disc edition. The first was Picard talking to Dr. Crusher about her return to Starfleet Medical and Crusher remarking how she works with a bunch of young doctors who are ready to cure the entire quadrant. The second was Geordi and Worf packing Data's possessions in his quarters. As they are cleaning up Data's cat Spot jumps into Worf's hands and Worf states he is not a cat person. Geordi sees how Spot has taken to Worf and replies, "You are now. " Immediately following this scene is the introduction of Commander Madden, which is included in the deleted scenes of the DVD.
