SCOTTY, ENERGIZE! More than 30 years ago, the spaceship Enterprise took of from earth for the infinite reaches of space, boldly going where no man had gone before. At the helm were Captain James T. Kirk and the Vulcan science officer Mr. Spock. This was also the beginning of the most successful science-fiction TV series ever. Today "Star Trek - The Original Series" is a classic, but the legend continues in feature films and new TV-adventures with all-new crews representing not only different human ethnic groups but different alien races as well With "Star Trek: The Exhibition" Paramount Pictures presents a variety of original models, props, and costumes to the public for the first time. Large exhibits like the bridge of the original Enterprise and the transporter room from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" create the illusion of really being there, while video-clips and sound effects complete a genuine Star Trek experience. Space, the final frontier... The roots of "Star Trek" can be found in the sixties, a decade in which the race between the superpowers for supremacy in spaceflight brought scientific interest in outer space to a climax. Astronauts were heroes, fulfilling mankind's century old dream of travelling to the stars. Inspired by all this, a Texan named Gene Roddenberry created a tale of the 23rd century, a science-fiction television series called STAR TREK.
