Star Trek : First Contact " " Resistance is futile . " " Six years have passed since Captain Jean - Luc Picard was captured and assimilated by the Borg . Now , the Borg make a second attempt to conquer the Federation . Starfleet believes that Picard ' s experience makes him an " unstable element to a critical situation " and orders him to stay behind . But , when Starfleet ' s fight does not go well , Picard and the crew of the new USS " Enterprise " disobey orders to join the fight , following the Borg three hundred years into the past just as Zefram Cochrane prepares to launch Humanity ' s first warp - capable engine , the " Phoenix " , and make first contact with an alien race . Summary . Act One . 24th century . Still haunted by memories of his assimilation , Captain Jean - Luc Picard awakes from a nightmare to a communiqué from Starfleet Command . Appearing on his desktop terminal , Starfleet Admiral relays distressing news : a Borg cube has attacked a Federation outpost on Ivor Prime and crossed into Federation space . Picard dutifully informs his crew that they are to take the new to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone , a minor threat compared to the Borg . The senior crew protest and are confused as to why the most advanced ship in the fleet is relegated to a relatively unimportant task ; the Romulans have not caused any incidents recently and would almost certainly not take the opportunity to start a conflict . Picard doesn ' t disagree with the protests but is compelled to follow orders . He later confides to first officer William T . Riker that the reason Starfleet is keeping the " Enterprise " away from the Borg is due to Picard ' s history with them . Riker emphatically disagrees with Starfleet ' s decision , saying that Picard ' s experience with the Borg would be a valuable asset in fighting them . They then receive word that the fleet has engaged the Borg and listen as the battle appears to go badly . Picard announces his intention to disobey their orders and the crew vote unanimously to disobey them and set a course for Earth , where they join a fleet of vessels repelling an advancing Borg cube . Rescuing survivors from the badly - damaged warship , Riker reports that the fleet admiral ' s ship has been destroyed ( It is learned later that Admiral Hayes survived ) . Picard takes command of the fleet and swiftly destroys the cube by ordering all vessels to target a seemingly insignificant region of the cube . As it explodes , however , the foundering Borg ship launches a sphere - shaped vessel into orbit of Earth . Lieutenant Commander Worf , commander of the " Defiant " , arrives on the bridge and ( after being formally welcomed aboard the " Enterprise " - E ) offers assistance . He asks about the status of the " Defiant " and is relieved when told it is adrift but salvageable . Picard requests he takes tactical and Riker jokingly asks if he " remembers how to fire phasers . " Suddenly , the sensors detect that the Borg sphere is creating a temporal vortex ; the crew all watch the viewscreen as the Borg vessel disappears through the vortex and Earth dramatically changes . Seeing that it is now populated entirely by Borg drone s and has a toxic atmosphere , they determine that history has been changed , having been protected from the changes themselves by the wake of the temporal vortex . As the vortex collapses , Captain Picard orders Lieutenant not to alter course and have the " Enterprise " follow the Borg into the past – to repair whatever damage they ' ve done . 21st century . In the small shanty town of Bozeman , Montana , Lily Sloane and Zefram Cochrane wander out of a makeshift bar as their town is unexpectedly pulverized by a volley of disruptor fire . Lily and Cochrane run for cover but are unaware that the Borg sphere is responsible for the destruction raining down upon them . Lily suspects that they ' re under attack by the forces of the Eastern Coalition ( ECON ) . The " Enterprise " emerges from the temporal vortex and destroys the Borg sphere with quantum torpedo es . Scanning the surface , the crew discovers that they have arrived in April of 2063 – one day before Earth ' s First Contact with an alien species , and a decade following the destruction of World War III . Picard surmises that the Borg were attempting to prevent the launch of Earth ' s first warp - powered craft . He gathers Lieutenant Commander Data and Doctor Beverly Crusher , leading an away team to locate the warp ship ' s inventor , Doctor Zefram Cochrane . After beaming down , Picard ' s away team enters Cochrane ' s missile silo where they find the occupants dead but the prototype warship , the " Phoenix " , suffering only minor damage . Picard and Data inspect the rocket but are surprised by Lily , who fires at the " Enterprise " officers with a m16 assault rifle . Impervious to bullets , however , Data intercepts the 21st century woman before she succumbs to radiation poisoning . Doctor Crusher returns to the " Enterprise " with Lily in her care , promising to keep her unconscious as Picard calls up to Geordi La Forge , asking the Chief Engineer to bring a repair crew to the silo . As the damage control team departs the ship , engineers Porter and Eiger are left to deal with environmental difficulties that have mysteriously cropped up . One after the other , both officers crawl into a Jefferies tube , wherein they are quietly assimilated by unseen Borg stowaways . Sensing that something is wrong aboard the " Enterprise " , Picard returns with Data to the ship , leaving Commander Riker in charge . Indeed , something is dreadfully wrong , as the Borg infiltrate the " Enterprise " ; Picard surmises that the Borg , knowing their vessel was doomed , must have transported aboard undetected while the " Enterprise " s shields were down . Fleeing Borg drones in sickbay , Doctor Crusher is forced to revive Lily . With the help of the " Enterprise " s EMH , Crusher , Nurse Ogawa , Martinez and other medical personnel are able to escape into the Jefferies tubes where Lily quietly slips away . On the bridge , Picard orders Data to lockout the main computer with an encryption code as the Borg attempt to take command of the ship . Picard knows that , once the Borg have control of the " Enterprise " , they will assimilate Earth . Act Two . Below decks , Picard briefs Data , Worf , and a team of security officers as they arm themselves with phaser rifle s ( Worf informing the crew that even with a rotating modulation , they will get at most twelve shots before the Borg adapt ) . As the Borg have taken control of Main Engineering , Picard explains their objective : puncture one of the warp plasma coolant tank s . Doing so will release the plasma coolant , liquifying the Borg ' s organic components , without which , Picard explains , the cyborgs cannot survive . Picard also warns his officers that they should not show mercy to assimilated " Enterprise " crew members – indeed , killing them would be the merciful thing to do . On Earth , Commander Riker finds a drunken Counselor Troi at the town ' s makeshift bar . The counselor introduces Riker to Zefram Cochrane , himself intoxicated , explaining that the scientist doesn ' t believe their cover story – and that , in her professional opinion as ship ' s counselor , she thinks he ' s " nuts " . Riker is very amused by Troi ' s drunken behavior , which annoys Troi even more . As Cochrane activates a rock and roll - spouting jukebox , Troi bemoans her first experience with tequila then finally passes out . Meanwhile , two teams march through the corridor s of the " Enterprise " - E – one led by Worf , the other by Picard and Data . Rounding a corner on deck 16 , the crew find that the usually pristine and immaculate bulkheads of a Federation starship have been replaced by the grotesque and mechanical equipment of a Borg vessel . In response , an anxious Data deactivates his emotion chip . Elsewhere , Worf and his men encounter Dr . Crusher as she emerges from the Jefferies tubes with her medical staff and patients . She notifies the Klingon that Lily has gone missing and Worf promises to watch out for the woman . Moving on , the two teams meet outside of engineering , in corridors crawling with Borg drones . At first ignoring the Starfleet officers ' arrival , the Borg suddenly spring into action as Picard and Data attempt to gain entry to main engineering . A battle ensues , but the Borg quickly adapt to phaser fire and Picard calls for a retreat . Too late , however , for Data , who is captured by the Borg and taken into their hive . Rushing to a Jefferies tube , Picard sees a crewman begging for help as Borg technology starts to take over his body and , believing he is saving him from a worse fate , shoots him dead before escaping into a hatch . Inside the access tube , Lily catches Picard by surprise , turning the captain ' s phaser on him and demanding to be returned home . Data awakes in engineering , restrained to a Borg operating table and surrounded by drones . He assures them that they cannot gain the " Enterprise " access codes stored in his neural net , speaking directly to the disembodied voice of the Borg . The Borg tell Data that breaking the code is only a matter of finding the android ' s weakness . On the surface , Riker , Troi , and La Forge attempt to convince Cochrane that the story about the Borg and their mission is true . Adjusting the scientist ' s telescope , La Forge gives Cochrane a glimpse of the " Enterprise " - E , orbiting high above Montana . The " Enterprise " officers urge Cochrane to continue with his plans to launch the " Phoenix " , telling him of the utopian society that warp travel and first contact will bring to Earth . On the same day that Cochrane makes his first warp flight , a survey ship from a neighboring alien race will be passing through Earth ' s solar system : upon noticing that Humans have discovered faster - than - light travel , they will decide that Humanity is advanced enough to officially make first contact . Thus , even if Cochrane ' s test flight is simply delayed a few days , it will drastically alter history . If Cochrane hurries to make his warp flight as scheduled , the aliens will make contact , and Humanity will put aside its differences and unite as never before , to rebuild from the world war and , within fifty years , build a utopia on Earth . Grudgingly , Cochrane agrees . Meanwhile , the fight does not go well aboard the " Enterprise " . The Borg continue their relentless assimilation of the ship and its crew , taking control of more than half of the starship . In command of the bridge , Worf is informed by Chief of Security that the Borg have halted their approach after seizing control of deck 11 , which contains hydroponics , stellar cartography , and deflector control ; none of which are vital " Enterprise " systems ; Worf is mystified , as the Borg would only have ceased their attack there if they gained a tactical advantage . Meanwhile , still crawling through the bowels of the ship , Picard leads Lily to a porthole looking out over Earth . Shocked to find herself in space , Lily surrenders her phaser and begins to trust the captain . Down in engineering , Data continues his conversation with the Borg Queen , who finally shows herself as a head and upper torso descending to a robotic body . Reactivating Data ' s emotion chip , the Queen reveals a patch of Human flesh grafted onto his android skeleton . With this new skin , Data is able to feel all new sensations and gets to experience pleasure for the first time when the Queen blows on the flesh . In a corridor , Picard describes the Federation and the Borg to Lily , who reacts in terror as they enter a section overrun by Borg . As they make their escape , Picard fires his phaser , provoking a response from two drones who pursue them into the holosuite . Activating a holonovel , Picard recreates a scene from " The Big Good - Bye " , using a holographic Tommy gun to blast the two Borg in a fit of rage . He goes berserk and plans on ripping apart the dead Borg with the gun before being calmed down by Lily . Nonetheless , he starts pulling open the chest cavity of one of the drones when Lily notices the Borg had partial remains of a Starfleet uniform on . Picard unemotionally informs her that the Borg was formerly Starfleet Ensign Lynch . The captain retrieves a Borg neural processor and proceeds to the bridge , surprising Lily at how emotionally detached he was at the thought of killing his own crew member . On Earth , Cochrane has grown frustrated with the high esteem bestowed upon him by the 24th century officers as they repair the " Phoenix " . After a run - in with Lieutenant Barclay ( who , like many of the crew had already done , asks to shake his hand ) , Cochrane expresses his reservations to La Forge , who admits that he too is experiencing feelings of hero worship . La Forge reveals to Cochrane that the missile silo would eventually become home to a statue in his honor . The scientist quickly escapes into the woods , attempting to flee . Riker and La Forge give chase , ultimately stunning Cochrane to prevent his escape . In engineering , the operation to give Data flesh and blood continues . Exploiting a small window of opportunity , Data breaks free of the operating table and attempts to escape his captors . He is stopped , however , when a drone slashes at and cuts Data ' s new Human skin . Data is then forced to experience another new feeling - - pain - - and is left confused that , despite the fact he wants to rip the flesh off , he can ' t bring himself to do it . The Borg Queen then sets about seducing the android , who explains that he is " " fully functional " " and " " programmed in multiple techniques " " , but it has been just over eight years since he has used them . Just after he tells the Queen this , the two fall into a passionate embrace . Elsewhere , Picard returns to the bridge to brief his crew on the situation : the Borg plan to use the ship ' s navigational deflector to contact reinforcements in the Delta Quadrant which would easily conquer Earth . With no other way to gain access to the deflector dish , Picard , Worf and the ship ' s helmsman , Lieutenant Hawk , don EV suits and cross the exterior hull of the ship on foot ( much to Worf ' s dismay , as the zero - gravity makes him sick to his stomach ) , finding several drones constructing a beacon . Unable to simply destroy the dish due to the risk of severe damage to the ship , Picard and company work to manually release it into space . Arousing a response from the drones , the " Enterprise " officers battle the Borg , who are able to injure Worf and assimilate Hawk . Hawk , now assimilated , tries to kill Picard by throwing him to a wall , cracking the glass in his helmet . Just as Hawk is about to slam his foot down on Picard ' s helmet , Worf shoots Hawk and he flies away into space . Recovering quickly , Picard finishes his task and releases the deflector into space . Worf allows the deflector to drift away from the ship , then destroys it with his phaser rifle . Sensing the destruction of the beacon , the Borg Queen announces to Data – still undergoing the operation – that she has changed her plans . Act Three . Repairs to the " Phoenix " have finally been completed and Riker joins Cochrane in the warp ship ' s cockpit . Cochrane admits to the commander that he is not the hero the " Enterprise " crew makes him out to be , and tells Riker that his reason for building the " Phoenix " was not to reach out to the stars or to usher in a new era for Humanity but for the money he would have made from it . Riker assures Cochrane that he is a more honorable man than even he knows . Returning to the bridge , Picard and Worf find the situation has worsened : the Borg have continued their takeover of the ship , assimilating decks five and six , with the intent of charging their way to the bridge , and the crew ' s phasers no longer affect their adversaries . The crew are shocked when Lieutenant Daniels is ordered by Picard to continue to defend against the unstoppable drones , even being told to fight hand - to - hand if need be . Worf and Crusher argue against this , instead suggesting evacuating the " Enterprise " in escape pod s and setting the ship to self - destruct to destroy the Borg . Picard angrily balks , and Worf attempts to reason with the Captain telling him that his experience with the Borg is obviously clouding his judgement . Picard responds by calling the Klingon a coward . Worf , insulted and outraged , snarls at Picard : " " If you were any other man , I would kill you where you stand . " " Picard then orders him off his bridge before heading into the observation lounge . Crusher begins to coordinate the remaining crew in defense of the ship , but Lily argues in favor of the self - destruct . Crusher points out that when the captain makes up his mind the discussion is over . Lily , not one of the crew , doesn ' t accept this and follows Picard to confront him . . . In the observation lounge , Picard sits at the table and tries to reconfigure his phaser rifle as Lily enters calling him a " " son of a bitch " " . The captain , with little time to spare , waves her off . Lily admits that while she may not know anything about the time where the crew comes from , she knows that everyone on the bridge believes that staying aboard the ship and fighting the Borg is suicide , they just won ' t tell Picard . The captain dismisses her belief with the assumption that the crew will follow his orders as they always have . Lily reminds him that his orders probably make sense most of the time . Picard ' s temper rises and silences her by saying the crew cannot understand the Borg as he does . Lily doesn ' t understand what Picard means . He explains the circumstances surrounding his abduction and incorporation into the collective six years earlier and smugly tells her that his experiences give him a unique perspective on the Borg and how to fight them . Lily begins to understand Picard ' s motivations – the Borg hurt him before and now he ' s going to pay them back . The captain sneers that in the 24th century , mankind doesn ' t succumb to revenge as they have a more evolved sensibility than what Lily can appreciate . " " Bullshit ! " " she exclaims as she watched him murder two Borg in the holosuite in cold blood with a look of enjoyment on his face . Picard is appalled she would make such an accusation and snarls at her to get out . Lily , defiant , stands her ground and wonders if he ' ll kill her like he did Ensign Lynch if she refuses . Picard , his emotions running high , dismisses the incident , claiming " there was no way to save him . " Lily doesn ' t buy it and asks where his " evolved sensibility " was then . Picard tries to ignore her claims , but Lily compares him to Captain Ahab in the novel " Moby Dick . " This jars Picard momentarily , but he shifts the conversation away from the accusation saying his refusal to abandon ship is more about saving the future of Humanity . Lily presses him bluntly , screaming at him to " blow up the damn ship ! " Picard now loses what little control he had and fires back " No ! " and in a moment of total rage smashes his phaser rifle into the display case containing models of previous starship " Enterprise " s . As he watches the shattered model of the " Enterprise " - D fall and break in half , he is momentarily taken aback . He tells her that sacrificing the " Enterprise " - E would be another compromise in a long line of compromises in Humanity ' s dealings with the Borg . No further , Picard intones , for he intends to make the Borg pay for what they ' ve done . Seemingly defeated , Lily examines the broken pieces of the " Enterprise " - D model and gently chides the captain that his little ships are broken and begins to exit the lounge . " " See you around , Ahab . " " As she does , the words of " Moby Dick " echo from his memory . . . Lily confesses she never actually read the book . With a smile on his lips , Picard explains that Captain Ahab had spent years hunting the whale that had crippled him , but his quest for vengeance eventually destroyed him and his ship . Realizing that he is walking the same path , Picard sets his phaser next to the broken pieces of the " Enterprise " - D model and enters the bridge and gives the order . . . " " Prepare to evacuate the " Enterprise . " " " At the launch site , Riker , Geordi , and Cochrane begin the pre - ignition sequence to launch the " Phoenix " while on the " Enterprise " bridge , Picard , Beverly and Worf arm the auto - destruct sequence . Programming the escape pods for the isolated Gravett Island , the captain activates the destruct order : fifteen minutes with a silent countdown . Dr . Crusher laments the quick death of the " Enterprise " - E and wonders if Starfleet will build another one . Picard , as hopeful as he was following the destruction of the " Enterprise " - D , quips that there are still " " plenty of letters left in the alphabet . " " Worf turns to exit as Picard stops him , regretting the remarks he made to him earlier . The captain adds that the Klingon is the bravest man he ' s ever known . Worf accepts the apology and they shake hands . Now alone on the bridge , his Starfleet career seemingly over and his command minutes away from destruction , Picard suddenly becomes very much aware that Data is still held in the clutches of the collective . From the tight confines of the missile silo in Montana to the remarkable wonder of the stars , the " Phoenix " is launched , flown by Cochrane , Riker , and La Forge . As the " Phoenix " soars above the Earth ' s atmosphere , the craft ' s occupants prepare to engage warp and Cochrane marvels at the experience . Escorting Lily to her escape pod , Picard hands her a PADD containing orders for Commander Riker . Lily realizes that the captain has no intention of leaving the ship and he admits that he must risk his life to save Data . Accepting his decision , Lily boards her pod as dozens of escape craft disengage from the " Enterprise " and fly towards Earth . Picard advances to engineering , where he comes face - to - face with the Borg Queen . She recalls the last time they met – during his assimilation – and presents him with a new Data , whose face is now partially Human . Picard attempts to parley for the android ' s release , but it is no use . After deactivating the self - destruct sequence , Data enters the encryption code into the computer , effectively giving the Borg Queen command of the " Enterprise . " Data stands at the Queen ' s side , telling her that Picard would be an " excellent drone " , as Borg drones take hold of the captain . As the " Phoenix " prepares to jump to warp , Data targets the warp ship with quantum torpedoes . After they are launched , a delighted Borg Queen gleefully taunts the captain about the imminent death of Humanity ' s future thinking the Borg will win , not noticing Data quietly moving towards a plasma coolant tank . Strapped down on a surgical table , Picard can only watch in horror as the torpedoes bear down on the " Phoenix " until they finally . . . " miss " their target , and both the horrified Queen and smirking captain realize that Data has deceived the Borg , not joined them . Mockingly repeating the Borg mantra to the Queen , Data thrusts his fist into the tank , enveloping him in the deadly gas as Picard scrambles for cover . Just below him , the Queen grabs hold of his foot , impeding his climb to safety . Picard struggles against her grip until Data – his new skin dissolved – emerges from the plasma and pulls the Borg Queen into it . Screaming in pain and rage , the Borg Queen ' s flesh quickly disintegrates . With her control of the Borg on the " Enterprise " destabilized , drones all over the ship collapse and die . As the " Phoenix " drops out of warp and returns to Earth , Picard vents the plasma from engineering and descends to the deck , which is littered with Borg corpses . Finding the metallic skeletal remains of the Borg Queen still clinging to life , Picard breaks her spinal column and terminates her once and for all , finally allowing him some form of closure . The captain finds Data not far away ; knowing that the melting of his Borg - given Human skin has left some of his inner circuits revealed but caused no real damage , he quips that he probably doesn ' t " feel " as bad as he might look , allowing a small chuckle at the irony . The android expresses a sense of sadness at the death of the " unique " Borg Queen and the glimpses of Humanity she brought him . He admits that he was tempted by her offer for a mere 0 . 68 seconds , but also notes that this involved much more deliberation than the captain might suspect . In Montana , a crowd of observers , including Cochrane , Lily , Picard and the other Human members of the " Enterprise " s senior staff , watch the historic landing of the first extraterrestrial craft to visit Earth . In awe and not without a little difficulty , Cochrane welcomes the ship ' s crew : a trio of Vulcan s . Lily tells Picard how much she envies him for living in such a peaceful future , and Picard responds how much he envies her that she gets to witness Humanity ' s first steps into a new era before telling her that he ' ll miss her . With that , the " Enterprise " crew depart unnoticed . Aboard the ship , Worf tells Picard that the " Enterprise " ' s warp signature was not detected by the Vulcans , while La Forge can recreate the temporal vortex that brought them there . Picard , confident that the future they know will be waiting for them , has the " Enterprise " - E depart the 21st century . On Earth , as Lily watches the " Enterprise " disappear through the vortex , a happily blitzed Cochrane is last seen unsuccessfully trying to get the Vulcans to drink and dance along to " Ooby Dooby " by Roy Orbison .

" " " " Course laid in , sir . " " " " Make it so . " " Background information . Development . With the success of and its worldwide gross of US $ 120 , 000 , 000 , Paramount Pictures development executives approached producer Rick Berman in to ready the next installment in the " Star Trek " franchise . During an impromptu meeting with writers Ronald D . Moore and Brannon Braga , Berman revealed his interest in a time travel story . The Moore / Braga writing team , however , wanted to tell a story focusing on the Borg . Moore recalled the first meeting : Brainstorming sessions began between the writer / producers day jobs on and . Again , Moore recalled : Though other time periods in history including the American Civil War were bandied about , eventually the Italian Renaissance time period was seized upon . An early story draft entitled " Star Trek Renaissance " expanded upon this idea . According to Moore , the story would have found Picard and company searching history for a group of time - traveling Borg . Happening upon a Renaissance village , the crew would hear stories about strange creatures taking over neighboring villages : The producers realized that the time period was expensive to realize on screen , with audience knowledge of and identification with the period very low . Ultimately , a time period after modern history was selected : The birth of the Federation . According to Brannon Braga : A revised storyline was constructed , this time called " Star Trek Resurrection " . Utilizing elements laid into place by Gene Roddenberry ' s original concepts for the " Star Trek " universe and the " " episode , " Resurrection " closely resembled the final film . In the story , the Borg attack Zefram Cochrane ' s Montana laboratory , severely injuring the scientist . With Doctor Crusher fighting to save Cochrane ' s life , Captain Picard assumes his place in history , rallying a town around reconstructing the damaged warp ship . As the action unfolded , Picard would have become romantically involved with a local photographer and X - ray technician named Ruby , who helps the captain reconstruct a key element of the ship . Aboard the " Enterprise " , Commander Riker would be engaged in combat with invading Borg drones . The Borg in " Resurrection " would remain faceless automatons . With a draft of " Resurrection " sent to studio executives , generally positive notes were returned . However , one Paramount executive pointed out the weakness of the Borg as being that they were " basically zombies . " Despite the Borg ' s inception as a faceless swarm , the writers chose to incorporate a figurehead into the Collective . The Borg Queen was created , a logical extension of the insect - like qualities incorporated into the Borg ' s characterization . Having read the early script pages too , Patrick Stewart , however , was dissatisfied with the film . Stewart suggested that the Picard and Riker stories be switched . Thus , the focus of the film was transferred to the action aboard the " Enterprise " with a B - story on the planet ' s surface . Elements like Ruby the photographer and an injured Cochrane were ultimately scrapped . As was any prospect of a love affair for Picard . Ronald D . Moore described the thought process : With that adjustment in the structure of the film , Berman suggested the addition of a holodeck sequence : The " cocktail party " . In an early draft of the script , still titled " Resurrection " , was circulated to key members of the production staff , headed by Martin Hornstein and Peter Lauritson . Using this script , the production heads would budget the film , ultimately falling into the US $ 45 , 000 , 000 range . Key positions were filled as preproduction began . With several members of the cast volunteering for the director ' s chair , Jonathan Frakes won out . According to Frakes , the film was offered to A - list directors who had little interest in the franchise ; as a result he was offered the job " a month later than would have been ideal . " Frakes appointed Jerry Fleck , a veteran of , as first assistant director and John W . Wheeler as editor . Veteran costume designer Deborah Everton was assigned the task of creating all non - Starfleet clothing , plus redesigning the Borg with Michael Westmore . Everton ' s credits at the time included and " " TV series ; she later costumed Ronald D . Moore ' s miniseries . Robert Blackman returned to once again redesign the Starfleet uniforms , this time to complement Frakes ' darker color palette and stand up better to big screen scrutiny . Preproduction . The New " Enterprise " . Upon delivery of the script to production designer Herman Zimmerman , the art department ' s first task was the creation of a new " Enterprise " . Having been retained from his work on " Generations " , illustrator John Eaves operated in conjunction with Zimmerman to develop the " Enterprise " - E , based upon direction by Berman and the writers . According to Ronald D . Moore , " " We described the new " Enterprise " in some detail . We said we want a sleeker look , with more of a muscular , almost warship kind of a look to it . " " According to illustrator Eaves , the process began by reviewing what came before , specifically Bill George ' s " Excelsior " from . Over twenty or thirty sketches , the designer honed the look of the ship into an even sleeker design , rotating the oval - shaped saucer of the to fit the new concept . By , Eaves and Zimmerman proceeded with their design with approval from Rick Berman . Featuring the same basic shape that appears in the finished film , this version of the " Enterprise " - E included movable warp pylons recalling the starship . Showing a dorsal - view sketch to a member of the production staff , Eaves received negative feedback that compared the ship to a chicken . " " . . . From the moment he said that , the design was cursed . Every time I looked at it , I saw not a starship , but a chicken in a pan . Sadly , Herman saw it , too , so we had to ( pardon the pun ) scratch that one . " " Over the next several months , the ship was again refined . In sketches dated , the " Enterprise " - E had finally been settled upon . Now distinguished by back - swept engine pylons , the ship was almost ready to be constructed . Eaves described the next steps : With several days of sketching alternatives behind him , Eaves returned to his original design to focus on the smaller details that allowed Sternbach to complete his plans . By the spring of , the ship ' s blueprints were turned over to Industrial Light & Magic ' s model building team under John Goodson . The ten - foot model was fabricated under extreme time constraint ( about half the normal time period ) ; with photographs of rooms and people inserted into the ship ' s windows . A computer - generated model was also constructed ( with almost indistinguishable differences between the two ) . Interiors . Working simultaneously on the exterior " Enterprise " - E , Eaves and Zimmerman focused inward , generating drawings of the " Enterprise " bridge as early as . First designing a smaller space to fit with the smaller , sleeker direction of the " Enterprise " , the art department eventually opened the set up , creating a space that was larger than the bridge of the " Enterprise " - D . Eaves described the decision : A collaborative process , Eaves received input from Doug Drexler regarding his new bridge : The final details of the bridge were honed through early 1996 , alongside other new sets including new corridors and an expanded engineering . Again designed by Eaves and Zimmerman , " Enterprise " - E corridor sets were constructed in a basic horseshoe shape with built - in handrails , back - lit monitors and removable panels that could be easily swapped for " Borgified " parts . Two lighting schemes were created for the corridor sets for normal and " red alert " conditions , though the former was not seen until . For the evacuation sequence , set decorator John Dwyer created vacuum - formed pieces molded from the hood of a Camaro , to be used as escape pod hatches . Paramount ' s Stages 14 and 15 housed the vast corridor complex which connected to Herman Zimmerman ' s and Nancy Mickleberry ' s main engineering . Eaves recalled the experience : Despite the number of new sets created for the film , the production once again reused old material , including turbolift wall sections dating back to ' s . Sections of the starship " Voyager " from were cannibalized for the film , as filming was to take place between that series ' second and third seasons . " Voyager " s sickbay was repainted and redressed for use as Doctor Crusher ' s sickbay , and the " Voyager " cargo bay set became the " Enterprise " weapons locker with relatively little modification . Having been saved from the wrecking crews following the completion of " Generations " , the " Enterprise " - D observation lounge , first built in for was put into service , overhauled and expanded , then connected to the bridge set . For the first time in the " Star Trek " film series , the transporter room did not appear . Also omitted from the finished picture , a large , cylindrical fish tank constructed for Picard ' s new ready room was replaced with nondescript " objet d ' art " before the cameras rolled . It was not only from previous " Star Trek " productions , the movie scavenged set pieces from as Production Illustrator John Eaves divulged in 2009 , " " We did " Osiris " immediately after " Generations " and both were Paramount films . When " First Contact " was starting up we brought over all the sets from " Osiris " and incorporated them into " Star Trek " . It was an oddity to take elements I had drawn for OC and then redraw them into the TNG world . . . everything came together well and if you have seen " Osiris " or ( Battle lords ) the tub shaped set piece that the Plentum was in became the center piece of the Warp core of the " Enterprise " E . " " Eaves was referring to the planned science fiction television series " The Osiris Chronicles " , for which a pilot episode , " " , was produced in 1995 / 1996 . A somewhat ill - conceived attempt to further capitalize on the new found popularity of science - fiction television shows , the series was not picked up however . The Borg . Assigned to refresh the Borg make up that had previously consisted of simple pale faces and cobbled together bodysuits , Deborah Everton and Michael Westmore cooperated with Herman Zimmerman and his team . As late as January of ' 96 , pages of Borg designs flowed from the art department , with contributions by Alex Delgado of . Working for Disney in addition to " Star Trek " , Delgado often worked on his time off , generating complex and sometimes grotesque images of the Borg , heavily influenced by insect life and ancient Egyptian culture . While many of Delgado ' s ideas ( including exposed organs and obelisk - shaped vessels ) were ultimately rejected , much of his work was integrated into Everton ' s and Westmore ' s final designs . According to Westmore : What resulted were eight Borg body - suits that would be combined with individually molded pieces to be swapped into various configurations representing different drones . Electronics built into the Borg suits often included blinking lights that spelled out production members ' names in Morse code . Makeup effects were achieved by airbrushing tiny " wires " that would appear to be just below the surface of the Borg drones ' skin ; a wide variety of humanoid and alien drones were created , including Klingons , Cardassian s and Romulan s , though the latter two never appeared in the theatrical cut . With days beginning as early as 2am , it took the makeup department thirty minutes to get the eight Borg actors into their costumes , another five hours to apply makeup , and ninety minutes to remove the makeup at the end of the day . According to Westmore : As the leader of the horde of eight , Alice Krige ' s Borg Queen costume was unique . A tight - fitting , one piece bodysuit , combined with a large headpiece and integrated lighting systems , the first of the Queen ' s costumes was built out of hard rubber . After the first of Krige ' s ten - day shoot , the actress suffered from blisters raised by the tight rubber . A second , soft foam suit was fabricated overnight . Despite the relative comfort of the new suit , Krige was still required to wear painful silver contact lenses that could be worn for only four minutes at a time . According to Jerry Fleck , the actress never complained . Borg vessels were handled by John Eaves , based upon script pages , referring to a " tetragon " , or rectangular - shaped vessel . Eaves generated drawings in January 1996 , labeled " Borg tetragon " : Unable to reuse the Borg cube built for the television series , created out of inexpensive pieces from model kits , a new cube had to be designed . Described by Eaves as " nonsensical " , a distinctly new surface was designed , distinguished by interlocking shapes and angles , with a hidden hatchway for Eaves ' Borg sphere . Intricate details of ILM ' s Borg cube model were achieved through the use of recycled paper clips . Besides several background and stunt performers who changed into Borg , there were also a few Borg mannequins . One of these mannequins was sold off on the It ' s A Wrap ! sale and auction on eBay . The " Phoenix " . In their original concept of Zefram Cochrane ' s warp ship , the " Phoenix " , Moore and Braga ' s script referred to a space shuttle - type lander , constructed on a large , outdoor platform . Difficult to realize without the aid of extensive digital effects , the production searched for more practical methods . Rick Berman ultimately seized upon the idea of utilizing a real nuclear missile , inspiring the writers to adjust the script to accommodate the " irony " of a weapon of mass destruction used to " inaugurate an era of peace . " With the cooperation of the United States military , the production gained permission to shoot within a real missile silo in Green Valley , Arizona , near Tucson . Utilizing the real , though hollowed out Titan II missile still in its silo , the team resolved to construct a new nose to sit atop the missile , acting as the cockpit of the " Phoenix " . John Eaves : Completing his design for the full - size cockpit facade , Eaves next began conceptualizing the second - stage " Phoenix " , basing his drawings on designs appearing in Michael Okuda ' s . Incorporating - style warp nacelles into his drawings , Eaves refined the " Phoenix " from rough drawings to finalized designs over months . Turning over the plans to ILM and John Goodson ' s team , Eaves was stunned by the finished product : Though mostly invisible on screen , a logo for Cochrane ' s warp ship was also designed by Eaves on the fly . Calling a number of gift shops in the area , Eaves was finally able to locate a postcard with an appropriate picture of the phoenix he remembered . Taking the postcard to a local store , the gift shop owner faxed a picture of the phoenix to the Paramount production offices where Eaves went to work . With only a single pass , the logo was approved by Rick Berman . Production . In the spring of 1996 , newly - recruited director Jonathan Frakes and producer Rick Berman cast their three " guest stars " . Two - time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks , an admitted Trekker , was slated to play Zefram Cochrane but he was busy with his directorial debut . The role went to James Cromwell , a veteran of and , and Oscar nominee for his role in the movie . According to Jonathan Frakes : " " In spite of having been nominated for an Academy Award , he actually came in and read for the part . . . He nailed it . He left Berman and me with our jaws in our laps . " " Cromwell later reprised his role as Cochrane in ' s " " pilot , . For the role of Lily , Frakes ' immediate inclination after reading the script was to cast actress Alfre Woodard . Woodard , an Oscar nominee herself and multiple Emmy Award winner , was Frakes ' self - proclaimed " godmother " : " " The first time we got through the script , I think everyone ' s first words were ' Alfre Woodard ' . " " A challenge for Frakes and Berman , though , was ultimately solved in the casting of South African - born actress Alice Krige as the Borg Queen . Both Frakes and the Moore / Braga writing duo would later recall a sense of uneasy sexiness in Krige ' s portrayal of the Queen , aided by the application of a wet sheen to her skin by the make up department . Other guest players were added to the " Resurrection " call sheets as they were added to the script , including " Trek " vets Dwight Schultz as Barclay , Ethan Phillips as the holographic " maitre ' D " , and Robert Picardo as the EMH of the " Enterprise " - E ( not to be confused with The Doctor ) . Phillips ' role went uncredited , a request made by the actor to confuse fans who may or may not recognize him from his role as Neelix . Other cast additions included Patti Yasutake ' s final appearance as Nurse Alyssa Ogawa , having first appeared back in TNG ' s fourth season . Don Stark was cast as Nicky the Nose , most memorable in his role as Bob Pinciotti in TV ' s – he also appeared in the episode as Ashrock the Yridian . Jack Shearer appears as Admiral Hayes , later reprising the role ( Hayes apparently escaping the destruction of his ship ) in " Voyager " episodes and . Actor Eric Steinberg portrayed Paul Porter , taken early in the film but appearing throughout as a partially assimilated Borg drone in engineering . Brannon Braga is clearly visible as an extra in the holodeck nightclub as the Borg enter the scene , though writing partner Moore ' s appearance was never shot – despite sixteen hours of waiting with his then wife Ruby , an anniversary present . Rumors persist that both Nichelle Nichols and Kelsey Grammer ( captain of the from ) have uncredited " voice cameos " , though these claims are unsubstantiated . Production on " Star Trek Resurrection " began on , but within a month , a new title had been chosen . Mere weeks prior , 20th Century Fox had announced the title of the fourth installment in their " Alien " film franchise : . A number of new titles were proposed for the film including " Star Trek Destinies " , " Star Trek : Future Generations " , and " Star Trek Regenerations " . The titles " Star Trek : Borg " and " Star Trek Generations II " were even chosen as working titles for the film until " Star Trek : First Contact " was finally selected , made official in a fourth draft script . ( " " went on to become the title of a video game , released not long after . ) Minor details in the script , even as shooting was under way , continued to evolve . Early drafts were vague regarding the fate of the " Defiant " , DS9 ' s resident warship . Having read the script , " Deep Space Nine " producer Ira Steven Behr ' s only note was an objection to the apparent destruction of the " Defiant " . The writers added the clarification " adrift but salvageable " and no mention of the ship ' s near annihilation was made in the TV series . Minor details in the script ' s pages included the ill - fated " Enterprise " crew member Ensign Lynch , named after a friend of writer Brannon Braga , but thought by many named for Internet critic Timothy W . Lynch , who reviewed every episode of TNG and DS9 . Gravett Island was not a real Earth location , but a fictional one named after Jacques Gravett , Ronald D . Moore ' s then assistant . Rumors circulated during production , even reported by some LGBT publications , that another ill - fated " Enterprise " crewman , Neal McDonough ' s Lieutenant Hawk was gay . No reference is made in the finished film to this fact ; the producers have denied the rumors . Regarding the film ' s emotional battle played out between Picard and Lily , Brannon Braga recalled : " " I ' d have to say that scene was nailed and perfect only about a week before it was filmed . " " Location shooting dominated the early schedule for the " Star Trek : First Contact " production team . First up were scenes set in Bozeman , Montana , shot in the Titan Missile Museum outside Tucson , Arizona for a duration of four days . The production then moved to the Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel Mountains not far from Los Angeles . Two weeks of nighttime shooting followed , with a large village constructed by Herman Zimmerman ' s art department to represent exterior Bozeman . Minor details in the sets included the 52 - star American flag referencing an early TNG episode , . A full - size section of the Vulcan lander was brought to this location for the film ' s finale . The film then moved to Los Angeles Union Station ' s art deco restaurant where the Dixon Hill holonovel sequence played out , including over 120 extras in period costumes and two Borg drones . Production finally moved to Paramount Pictures studios in Hollywood on May 3 for a half day of shooting on the three story " Enterprise " - E engine room set . Cameras were then moved from Stage 14 to Stage 15 where scenes were shot on the bridge , observation lounge and ready room sets . Jonathan Frakes recalled : The next two months were dubbed by the crew , " Borg Hell " , with scenes shot on stages 14 , 15 and 8 that included heavily made - up Borg extras , stunts , pyrotechnics and one large deflector dish . Likely the film ' s most labor intensive sequence to shoot was the battle on the " Enterprise " hull , on the film ' s largest set . The deflector dish itself , while massive , was shot at angles intended to exaggerate its size – the manual input computers were labeled " AE35 " , a subtle reference to . The sequence also required Patrick Stewart as Picard , Michael Dorn as Worf , and Neal McDonough as Hawk to wear restrictive environmental suit s that incorporated internal lighting and cooling systems . With the addition of flying rigs and complex stunts , tempers on the set were pushed , as was Patrick Stewart ' s endurance ; the actor suffered breathing problems in his spacesuit , halting production for an entire day . Problems also arose in the realism of the sequence , with smoke rising from the set , then quickly falling , contrary to the physics of real life zero - G . This required Frakes to shoot around the smoke , or shoot takes short enough to prevent the falling smoke to be seen . Writers Moore and Braga agreed that , had the film been produced only a few years later , the entire sequence was likely to have been less complicated if shot with computer - generated sets . Despite the complications , " Star Trek : First Contact " wrapped production on ( two days over schedule ) , with the flashback that opened the film . Fittingly , the sequence required Patrick Stewart to don the Starfleet uniform he had worn for at least five of the seven seasons on " Star Trek : The Next Generation " . According to Ronald D . Moore , everyone involved with the film knew it was going to be a hit . Post - production . Visual effects . As described by visual effects supervisor John Knoll , time allotted for post production visual effects and model building resulted in a " brutal effort " . Not only did ILM ' s team have to construct the " Enterprise " - E , large models representing the Borg sphere , the new Borg cube , and the " Phoenix " were also required . Even more so than the previous film , the " First Contact " visual effects team also utilized computer - generated imagery , lending itself to sequences that required large numbers of starships . To stand up to the Borg cube alongside the new " Enterprise " and the old " Defiant " , ILM art director Alex Jaeger designed sixteen new Starfleet vessels , four of them rendered digitally and appearing in the massive opening battle sequence . The new starships included , , , and vessels ; the latter starship was lost after production due to a computer glitch , never to appear in " Star Trek " again . Also included in the melee were a starship , a vessel , and an science ship in its final use . As a joke , the " " CG model ( created for the Special Editions ) was inserted into the Borg attack , though generally indistinguishable . Other computer - generated vessels included the John Eaves ' designed " Enterprise " escape pods and the Vulcan lander , constructed by the VisionArt company . At that time , " First Contact " included more complex visual effects shots than any " Star Trek " film before ; low - tech methods , however , were still utilized . Close - up shots of La Forge ' s new ocular implants were achieved through the use of a sprocket - shaped shower handle , matted against black contact lenses . Music . Jerry Goldsmith , who composed the music for " Star Trek : The Motion Picture " and , returned to score " First Contact " and the remaining two films after it . Because of his hectic schedule , Goldsmith shared much of the work with his son , Joel Goldsmith ; as a result much of the music in " First Contact " does not appear on the commercial soundtrack . Among the two Goldsmiths ' work , a theme established in " The Final Frontier " , referred to as the " A Busy Man " theme , was used throughout " First Contact " , likely as a theme for Picard . It can be heard just after the opening fanfare at the beginning of the film . It can also be heard only briefly in " Insurrection " , but is used quite heavily in . Also repeated in " First Contact " was the Klingon theme , originally introduced in " The Motion Picture " and used in this film to represent Worf . As with all " Star Trek " films scored by Goldsmith , the theme from " The Motion Picture " was used in the end credits , and the opening fanfare from the " Theme from Star Trek " was used to segué into the opening and closing themes . The opera that Picard listens to in his ready room is Berlioz ' " Les Troyens " – " Hylas ' Song " from the beginning of Act V . ( Hylas is a homesick young sailor being rocked to sleep by the sea as he dreams of the homeland he will never see again . ) This is the first and only " Star Trek " movie to have rock and roll in the soundtrack ( though did feature late ' 80s jazz by the Yellowjackets , as well as a punk song ) . In their joint audio commentary on the " " DVD , Ron Moore and Brannon Braga credited Peter Lauritson with the selection of Steppenwolf ' s original recording of " Magic Carpet Ride " ( and not " some cheap cover " ) . They criticized , however , the choice of Roy Orbison ' s " Ooby Dooby " as being " too goofy " . Promotion and merchandising . The teaser trailer for " Star Trek : First Contact " premiered with Paramount movies in early summer 1996 . As much of the film had yet to be shot when the advertisements were assembled , footage from " Star Trek Generations " and episodes from " Star Trek : The Next Generation " and " Star Trek : Deep Space Nine " was included . Inter - cut with sequences from the film , the reused footage included snippets of and . The trailer utilized score from " The Best of Both Worlds " , " Generations " and , most notably , however , from . Both the teaser and theatrical trailers included footage unique only to them , with some visual effects created specifically for the trailer . Unique shots included the USS " Voyager " firing phasers at a differently - designed Borg cube and an alternate version of Picard ' s soon - to - be infamous speech , " " The line must be drawn here ! " " in the teaser , and cut takes of various Borg drones in the theatrical . In the UK theatrical version of the film there were two scenes that were cut from subsequent VHS and DVD releases ; One taking place after Worf is transported over to the " Enterprise " - E , where he refuses medical treatment from Dr . Crusher and demands to be taken to the bridge , and an extended scene on Earth where Zefram Cochrane asks Geordi La Forge about his eyes . This appears to be the only evidence of cut material ; no deleted scenes have surfaced or been officially released . As with the previous film and TNG , Playmates Toys released a line of action figures and accessories in conjunction with the premiere of the film . Among the toys was a model of the " Enterprise " - E , apparently based upon early sketches of the ship and not the finalized version – featuring several key structural differences from the finalized design . Out of scale to their previous lines , the larger " First Contact " action figures were made in the likenesses of the entire " Enterprise " - E crew , Lily , Zefram Cochrane , Picard in an environmental suit , and a Borg drone – also based on production drawings . In recent years , Art Asylum has released a detailed action figure in the likeness of Captain Picard from " First Contact " , complete with the skull of the Borg Queen . Marvel Comics released both a of the movie , and a sequel comic book that crossed the crew with the X - Men in " Second Contact " . This had a later sequel novel by Michael Jan Friedman , called " Planet X " . " First Contact " and were also released , as were updated version of the and . Reaction . " Star Trek : First Contact " premiered in American cinemas on , number one at the box office . With a budget of around US $ 45 , 000 , 000 , it opened on 2 , 812 screens and went on to garner around US $ 150 , 000 , 000 worldwide . By comparison , " Star Trek Generations " , with a budget of US $ 35 , 000 , 000 , opened at US $ 23 , 100 , 000 and grossed US $ 120 , 000 , 000 worldwide . It was the second highest grossing " Star Trek " film ever , falling just behind ' s " Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home " , until the release of ' s . The film , however , was considered by most to be not only a financial success , but a critical one as well . The film review website calculated a 92 % critic score for " First Contact " , with 40 of 44 reviews giving positive remarks . Giving the film " Two thumbs up ! " , host Roger Ebert elaborated in his " Chicago Sun Times " review : While often negative in his reviews of other " Trek " films , Ebert elaborated , " " how I love the " Star Trek " jargon ! " " and even expressed his fondness for the Borg Queen : In his review , magazine writer Joe Leydon expressed his approval : Leydon concluded , " " If " First Contact " is indicative of what the next generation of " Star Trek " movies will be like , the franchise is certain to live long and prosper . " " Apocrypha . The establishes that during the Battle of Sector 001 as the " Defiant " attacked the Borg Cube , Worf thought that by keeping the " Enterprise " away from the battle , Starfleet Command was doing Picard a great dishonor by not allowing him the opportunity to gain revenge against his mortal enemy .
