He appeared at Phoenix Fan Fusion as recently as 2023, and on Thursday, Nov. 13, he'll return to the Valley.
That evening, Shatner will host a screening of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," the 1982 sequel to the original "Star Trek" film, at 7:30 p.m. at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Phoenix.
In "Wrath of Khan," the DVD synopsis reads, "Admiral James T. Kirk seems resigned that this may be the last space mission of his career. But an adversary from the past has returned with a vengeance. Aided by his exiled band of genetic supermen, Khan — brilliant renegade of 20th-century Earth — has raided Space Station Regula One, stolen the top-secret device called Project Genesis, wrested control of another Federation starship and now schemes to set a most deadly trap for his old enemy Kirk … with the threat of a universal Armageddon."
The film, which stars Ricardo Montalban as Khan, has an 86% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the most critically acclaimed entry in the original "Star Trek" film series.
After audiences watch the film, Shatner will take to the stage to share fascinating and humorous behind-the-scenes stories from his seven decades-long career as an actor, producer, director, writer and – most recently – space traveler. Fans will also have a chance to ask Shatner questions during an audience-led Q&A.
