Paramount Home Media Distribution has announced that it will release on Blu-ray Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Director’s Cut. The release will be available for purchase on June 7.
Synopsis: “Admiral” James T. Kirk begrudgingly embarks on a cadet cruise in the newly christened Starfleet Academy training starship, the USS Enterprise. Then his whole world is really turned upside down when he crosses paths with his old nemesis – Khan Noonien Singh! After 15 grueling years of being exiled on the planet, Ceti Alpha V, Khan and his followers have escaped by hijacking a starship. Even worse Khan has discovered the plans for testing the planet reconfiguring “Genesis Device.” During the ensuing battle, both starships are crippled. However, Khan is able to locate and steal the device to use it as a weapon. Their cat and mouse game eventually turns deadly for both ships. Revenge minded Kahn is more than ready to sacrifice everything. Kirk isn’t and he desperately tries to save his ship. The fatal solution will cost him more than he’s ever had to pay before, his friend!
