Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D find themselves at odds with the renegade scientist Soran who is destroying entire star systems. Only one man can help Picard stop Soran's scheme...and he's been dead for seventy-eight years. Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes lead a cast that makes the ambitious moments land. Star Trek: Generations came out in 1994. The rules of Star Trek: Generations's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating.
