Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is the sixth feature film based on the Star Trek science fiction television series. The film was released by Paramount Pictures in 1991 and is the last of the films led by the original series cast. After an ecological disaster leads to two former enemies, the Federation and the Klingon Empire, brokering a tenuous peace, the crew of the starship Enterprise must prevent full-scale war from breaking out on the eve of negotiations.

Star Trek VI was initially planned on being a prequel to the original series, featuring new, younger actors portraying the crew of the Enterprise while still in school. Faced with producing a new film in time for Star Trek's 25th anniversary, Denny Martin Flinn and Nicholas Meyer, the director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, wrote a script based on a suggestion from Leonard Nimoy about what would happen if "the wall came down in space", touching on the contemporary topic of the Cold War. The film was completed in just 11 months; Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died before the movie's premiere.

The Undiscovered Country garnered positive reviews upon release, with publications praising the lighthearted acting and tongue-in-cheek references. The film earned two Academy Award-nominations, for Best Makeup and Best Sound Effects. Also of note, this is the only Star Trek movie to win a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film.
