Nicholas Meyer’s published film scripts represent his work on two of the most popular Star Trek films. The Undiscovered Country (1992) was adapted from the film Meyer directed, which dealt with the end of the Cold War through a Star Trek lens. The Voyage Home (1996) was published later and represents the time-travel comedy that sent the Enterprise crew back to 1980s San Francisco to save humpback whales.
These scripts are of interest to Star Trek fans and screenwriting enthusiasts alike. Meyer’s Star Trek work is often credited with saving the franchise after the muted reception of the first film, and his scripts demonstrate a literary sensibility applied to genre filmmaking.
