Dec 14, 2015 5:33 PM CUT While the world prepares for the premiere of [_Star Wars: The Force Awakens_](http://time.com/4144367/star-wars-the-force-awakens-crawl/ "undefined"), Paramount Pictures reminded us of that _other_ immensely popular sci-fi franchise by dropping the trailer for _Star Trek Beyond_ Monday. Set to the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” the trailer finds Commander Spock (Zachary Quinto) and company in a bit of a pickle: stranded without a ship or a crew and surrounded by enemies. Between motorcycle stunts and literal cliff-hangers, this first glimpse positions the third installment in the franchise reboot—which began with _Star Trek_ in 2009 and continued with 2013’s _Star Trek Into Darkness_—as a high-octane action flick. [J.J. Abrams](http://time.com/4132822/michael-kaplan-costumes-star-wars-vs-star-trek/ "undefined"), who was too busy directing the seventh episode of _Star Wars_ to return to the director’s chair, shifts to a producing role, with [_Fast and Furious_ ](http://time.com/3645349/justin-lin-star-trek/ "undefined")[alum Justin Lin](http://time.com/3645349/justin-lin-star-trek/ "undefined") taking the helm. The cast, including Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana, largely consists of returning players, while new additions include Idris Elba and Sofia Boutella. _Star Trek Beyond_ is due out on July 22, 2016, hitting theaters a few months shy of 50 years after _Star Trek_ debuted as a TV series in 1966. _Read more:_ [_This Will Give You a Whole New Perspective on Star Wars Versus Star Trek_](http://time.com/4132822/michael-kaplan-costumes-star-wars-vs-star-trek/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4147710/star-trek-beyond-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4147710/star-trek-beyond-trailer/"},"headline":"The First Trailer for Star Trek Beyond Finds the Crew Rocking Out to the Beastie Boys","datePublished":"2015-12-14T17:33:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:42.432Z","description":"\"We will find hope in the impossible\"","url":"https://time.com/4147710/star-trek-beyond-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta65cb4abfcb7c0be/6988753af887dc301de93ba3/chris-pines-zachary-quinto.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta65cb4abfcb7c0be/6988753af887dc301de93ba3/chris-pines-zachary-quinto.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto at the Premiere of \"Star Trek Into Darkness\" on May 14, 2013 in Hollywood, California.","caption":"Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto at the Premiere of \"Star Trek Into Darkness\" on May 14, 2013 in Hollywood, California.","creditText":"Kevin Winter--Getty Images for Paramount Pictu","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4147710/star-trek-beyond-trailer/","name":"The First Trailer for Star Trek Beyond Finds the Crew Rocking Out to the Beastie Boys"}}]}] ```
