The story of the film revolves around the crew of the USS Enterprise-E risking everything to come to the aid of the population of a defenseless and peaceful alien race, called the Ba'ku, who are being threatened with force relocation by another alien species, called the Son'a, who wish to the take advantage of and benefit from the rejuvenating properties of the Ba'ku's planet and the surrounding area of space. As Captain Picard and his crew investigate the situation further they uncover a conspiracy between a corrupt Starfleet Admiral and the Son'a to move the Ba'ku from their planet through any means necessary - unless the Enterprise-E can stop the conspirators in their tracks and forcibly defend the right of the Ba'ku to live wherever they wish, as well as inform Starfleet Command and the United Federation of Planets Council of what is due to take place.
