He meets with the young Kirk who convinces the young Spock to put him in charge of the Enterprise in order to stop Nero from destroying Earth. In the movie, Prime Spock is forcibly made to travel in time with the main villain Nero (Eric Bana), so he could witness the destruction of his planet, Vulcan. His involvement is also meant to maintain the continuity in the Star Trek franchise without the reboot having to follow the events that occurred in the television series. The prequel includes a plot about time travel where the original Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, travels back in time and changes the Star Trek timeline. The film is set in an alternate reality in a not so distant future, where space exploration was a means of “going where no man has gone before.” It tells the backstory of how Kirk and Spock got into Starfleet and ended up in command of the Enterprise. Lead actors Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto assume the roles of James T. It features the original characters created by Gene Roddenberry, played by new actors. The 2009 science fiction adventure film, Star Trek, is a reboot of the Star Trek television series that aired from 1966 to 1969.
