Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) und die Next Generation-Crew in ihrem bisher aufregendsten Abenteuer - einem Action-geladenen Science Fiction-Film, der "alles bisher Dagewesene in den Schatten stellt" (Richard Corliss, Time).
Sie nennen sich selbst die Borg - eine Gruppe k¸nstlich verbesserter Humanoider, die ein einziges Ziel verfolgt: alle Rassen zu besiegen und zu assimilieren. Angef¸hrt von der verf¸hrerischen und sadistischen Kˆnigin (Alice Krige), begeben sich die Borg auf den Weg zur Erde mit dem teuflischen Plan, den Lauf der Geschichte zu ‰ndern. Seine letzte Begegnung mit den Borg kostete Picard fast sein Leben. Nun sinnt er auf Rache. Aber wie weit wird er dabei gehen?
Star Trek: Der erste Kontakt, mit Alfre Woodard und James Cromwell in weiteren Rollen sowie einer Vielzahl von spektakul‰ren Special Effects ist einer der Action-Filme, bei denen "einfach alles stimmt" (Jim Ferguson, Prevue Channel).
