The specifics of Into Darkness' plot have been guarded by Abrams, who is the 21st-century version of the Romulan cloaking device or, as Pine calls him, the ''benevolent dictator.'' What is known: This time around the headstrong Kirk violates Starfleet orders and jeopardizes his command in order to take the Enterprise on the trail of a terrorist who launches spirit-crushing attacks on London and San Francisco. Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch (center) plays the bad guy in question, a man called John Harrison who's described by co-writer Alex Kurtzman as a ''member of Starfleet who turns on Starfleet.''
