The original series and its spinoff films follow the interstellar adventures of the crewmen aboard the starship USS Enterprise.

The series was adapted as a 1979 motion picture starring the original cast; its box office success led to a dozen sequels and reboot films as well as over eleven spinoff television series, making Star Trek one of the most prolific and influential science fiction properties in American history.
