The story of Star Trek Into Darkness follows the crew of the Starship Enterprise as they face a dangerous enemy.

The Story
The movie begins with Captain James T. Kirk leading his crew on a mission to a planet called Nibiru. They break a rule called the Prime Directive to save the planet's people from a volcano. Because of this, Kirk loses his command of the Enterprise.
Later, a Starfleet agent named John Harrison attacks a Starfleet meeting in London. Kirk and his crew are sent to find Harrison, who has escaped to a Klingon planet. The Klingons are a powerful alien race, and going to their planet is very risky.
A Dangerous Enemy
The crew learns that Harrison is actually a super-human named Khan Noonien Singh. Khan was created hundreds of years ago and has amazing strength and intelligence. He was awakened from a long sleep by Admiral Marcus, who wanted to use Khan's abilities to create weapons. Khan felt betrayed and decided to get revenge.
