Which actor played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Generations?

The story behind the answer

Patrick Stewart played Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Generations.

Generations was released in 1994 and brought Stewart’s Star Trek: The Next Generation captain together with William Shatner’s Captain James T. Kirk. Stewart had played Picard on television since 1987, making the film a major bridge between two generations of Star Trek performers.

The story centers on the Nexus, an extradimensional energy ribbon, and the scientist Tolian Soran. Picard seeks Kirk’s help after Soran’s plan threatens inhabited worlds. Their meeting is one of the film’s defining moments.

Although Shatner receives major attention because Kirk returns, Picard is the central captain of the film. Generations was the first theatrical Star Trek film to feature the Next Generation cast and the seventh Star Trek feature overall.
