In the eighth feature film in the Star Trek franchise, the Borg have returned, in another attempt to conquer Earth. Disregarding orders, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the new Enterprise-E rush to save the Federation homeworld, only to get sucked back in time with the Borg as they attempt to interfere with the course of humankind's evolution into a peaceful, unified race. Trapped in the mid-21st century, their only chance of stopping the Borg from assimilating Earth is to help Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell) make his famous first faster-than-light travel to the stars.
