Synopsis

When Gene Roddenenberry created "Star Trek" he helped change popular entertainment. In 30 years the "Star Trek" phenomenon has grown into three hugely successful TV series, six feature films, and a multi-million dollar merchandising industry including over 100 novels. This biography reveals a contradictory and obsessive personality, a man who created a vision of the future in which personal conflicts, sexism and racism are eradicated and decency and rationalism prevail. This vision proved to have world-wide appeal, but Roddenberry himself was beset by many of the failings he wished to see eliminated.
