Which Star Trek film is dedicated to Gene Roddenberry?

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is the Star Trek film dedicated to Gene Roddenberry. Its opening carries the memorial card “For Gene Roddenberry,” honoring the creator of the franchise.

Roddenberry died on October 24, 1991, only weeks before the film’s U.S. release on December 6. He reportedly saw an almost-completed version of the movie shortly before his death. The dedication was added as a tribute to the person whose original television series launched the Star Trek universe in 1966.

The dedication can be confused with other Star Trek tributes. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home famously honored the crew of the space shuttle Challenger, but Star Trek VI’s dedication is specifically for Roddenberry. The card appears before the opening credits rather than being part of the story’s fictional universe.

The tribute also gives the film extra historical weight: The Undiscovered Country became the final feature film to include the entire original-series ensemble, making it both a farewell to that cast and a memorial to Star Trek’s creator.
