Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

I mean, there are better Star Trek movies, but this was 1991 and the Berlin Wall fell and the Klingons were the metaphor for the USSR (despite what the current everything is political writers of Picard say, despite their attempts to invert it) and spray cans destroyed to O-Zone layer...

... and so do moons.

So.... this fit PERFECTLY into 1991. PERFECTLY, and good science fiction is always a commentary on politics, culture, religion, something contemporary that needs to be poked at and examined.

And that is EXACTLY what VI does, and it does it to the letter. It examines the old cold warriors in a new time of peace.
