L'ammiraglio Kirk e il suo equipaggio decidono di tornare sulla Terra con lo Sparviero (ribattezzato HMS Bounty) catturato ai Klingon nel precedente episodio (Star Trek III: Alla ricerca di Spock), tutti rassegnati a subire la corte marziale per avere sottratto e distrutto la nave stellare USS Enterprise. Avvicinandosi al pianeta ricevono però un messaggio che avvisa che la Terra è sotto l'attacco da parte di una misteriosa e invulnerabile sonda spaziale aliena, che cerca di mettersi in comunicazione con le balene megattere, la cui specie però è estinta da tempo.
