Plot summary
On Nibiru, Captain James T. Kirk breaks the Prime Directive to save Spock from a volcanic eruption, showing the Enterprise to the planet's inhabitants. Starfleet takes the ship from him and gives it back to Admiral Pike, demoting Kirk to first officer and transferring Spock. In London, Starfleet officer Thomas Harewood, acting for Commander John Harrison, sets off a bomb at a secret Starfleet facility. At an emergency meeting of senior officers at headquarters, Harrison attacks in a gunship and escapes to Kronos, the Klingon homeworld. Admiral Marcus restores Kirk to the captain's chair and gives him 72 prototype torpedoes to use against Harrison, who has taken refuge deep in Klingon territory.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- While filming at the National Ignition Facility, Simon Pegg and Chris Pine tricked arriving castmates into believing the location had "ambient radiation" and that they needed "neutron cream"; Benedict Cumberbatch unknowingly signed a release, and Karl Urban and John Cho recorded a fake public service announcement.
- Benicio del Toro was reportedly sought for the villain role in Star Trek Into Darkness and met with J. J. Abrams before bowing out, and Demián Bichir auditioned for the part before Benedict Cumberbatch was cast as the villain.
SPOILER
Benedict Cumberbatch's casting as Khan Noonien Singh drew accusations of whitewashing, since the character was introduced as a Sikh; Star Trek: Voyager actor Garrett Wang and original Sulu George Takei were among those who criticized the choice.- Leonard Nimoy returned for Star Trek Into Darkness, reprising his role from the previous film, and it was his last film appearance before his death in 2015.
- A scene showing Alice Eve's character Carol Marcus in her underwear was called gratuitous, and screenwriter and producer Damon Lindelof apologized on Twitter, saying he took responsibility and would be more mindful in future.
- Klingon language developer Marc Okrand wrote the Klingon dialogue and coached the actors on set, but the lines no longer made sense after editing, so new dialogue was written and dubbed in post-production.
