Next month, Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home by bringing it back to select movie theaters across the nation. Screenings will be available at 3 PM and 7 PM on August 19 and August 22 with tickets available now. The film stars William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and Nichelle Nichols and will also include the “Three Picture Saga” featurette which has cast and crew looking back over the story arc that spans Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and The Voyage Home.
When a mysterious alien power threatens the atmosphere of Earth in the 23rd Century, Kirk and his crew must time travel back to 1986 San Francisco to save mankind. Exploring this strange new world, they encounter punk rock, pizza, and exact-change buses that are as alien as anything in the far reaches of the galaxy.
Talking about bringing the film back to theaters, Tom Lucas of Fathom Events said:
We are so proud to work with Paramount to bring this Star Trek film back to theatres for the 35th anniversary. Between being nominated for four Academy Awards® and the unconventional storyline, this film, in particular, deserves the big screen treatment.
Fans will be able to enjoy home releases of Star Trek: The Original Series in a Steelbook and collections of the original four films on Blu-ray releasing on September 7.
