An old-fashioned cop emerges to foil a high-tech attack on the country's computer infrastructure as Bruce Willis brings back one of the biggest action franchises in screen history. It's been over a decade since audiences last saw New York cop John McClane (Willis), but now, as the world's greatest criminal mastermind (Timothy Olyphant) attempts to cripple the entire country with an innovative act of technological terrorism, only one cop can insure that the integrity of the system stays intact. In this, the fourth installment of the long-running action series, Underworld director Len Wiseman picks up the torch formerly carried by directors John McTiernan and Renny Harlin to helm a script penned by Mark Bomback. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The opening episode of Star Trek: Voyager's sixth season neatly resolves the cliffhanger set up at the end of season five -- and once the crew of the Voyager has rescued the ship's technology from the wrong hands, they resume their efforts to return to Starfleet Command in the Alpha Quadrant. This season's highlights include an episode in which the crew rescues a 300-year-old U.S. spaceship, trapped in a huge energy ball; a startling revelation regarding the Borg Collective past of crew member Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan); the introduction of a new recurring character, the adolescent Naomi Wildman (played by future Reba co-star Scarlett Pomers); and a guest appearance by the pro wrestler known as The Rock. The episode "Pathfinder" represents the first of several series appearances by former Star Trek: The Next Generation semi-regular Dwight Schultz in his familiar role as "Reg" Barclay, here establishing a communication link between Voyager and the Alpha Quadrant -- but only for 11 minutes at a time. Seven of Nine learns awful truth about her Borg past. The crew rescue a 300-year-old U.S. spaceship trapped in a huge energy ball in "One Small Step." "Collective" introduces four new recurring characters, the partially assimilated Borg children Icheb (Manu Intiraymi), Mezoti (Marley S. McClean), Azan (Kurt Wetherill), and Rebi (Cody Wetherill), with whom Seven of Nine forms a sympathetic bond. And in "Fury," former regular Jennifer Lien makes a return appearance as the Ocampan Kes. The season's traditional cliffhanger finale is sparked by a dream experienced by Seven of Nine in which all Borg Drones are allowed to regain their individuality -- a contingency that the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson) intends to prevent at any cost, including the total destruction of the Voyager. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

With the cliffhanger finale of Star Trek: Voyager's third season efficiently resolved in the opening salvo of season four, the crew of the Voyager finds itself with a new member: Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), an earthling who in childhood had been assimilated into a Borg collective, forsaking her individuality in the process. As the season progresses, Seven of Nine's essential humanity slowly returns -- but given her Borg background, can she be trusted? Meanwhile, the Voyager bids goodbye to Ocampan crew person Kes (Jennifer Lien), who after the battle which briefly united her crew with the Borg is compelled to morph into an energy being -- but not before pushing the Voyager some 9,500 light years closer to the Alpha Quadrant. In other developments, Talaxian crew member Neelix (Ethan Phillips) ponders the significance of his existence after being snatched from the jaws of death; former antagonists B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson) and Lt. Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) fall in love; and Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) faces a new threat to the well-being of herself and her crew in the form of "Species 8472." The season's most intriguing episode is "Living Witness," set in the far-distant future, in which a museum curator relates a "reconstructed" version of the Voyager's crucial intervention in the war between the Kyrians and the Vaskans. This season's cliffhanger finale finds the crew celebrating the likelihood that they will soon return to their home base -- but Janeway is curiously non-celebratory, and very grim. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season three of Star Trek: Voyager begins with the titular space vessel still in the hands of the enemy Kazon, and Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and most of her crew still stranded on Hanon IV, a desolate planet that closely resembles a prehistoric Earth. Eventually extricating themselves from this situation, the crew survives to embark on innumerable other adventures in their efforts to escape the distant Gamma Quadrant and return to their Starfleet Command home base. Highlight episodes this season include the two-part "Future's End," in which the crew must alter events of the 20th century to avert catastrophe in their own time; "The Q and the Gray," in which familiar Star Trek: The Next Generation nemesis Q (John DeLancie) demands that Janeway bear him a child; "Coda," wherein Janeway comes face to face with her deceased father; "The Darkling," which finds the holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) generating a hostile version of himself; and "Before & After," in which Ocampan crew member Kes (Jennifer Lien) is given a most disturbing glimpse into the future. The traditional cliffhanger ending of Star Trek: Voyager's third season finds Janeway forced to forge an alliance with our old "friends," the Borg, in order to vanquish an even more powerful enemy. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

While tracking down a group of Maquis terrorists, the crew of the starship Voyager is caught in a freak plasma storm and hurtled some 75,000 light years from Starfleet Command -- and thus begins the first episode, and the seven-season saga, of Star Trek: Voyager. Upon realizing her plight, Voyager captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) also discovers that a being called the Caretaker has brought both her ship and the Maquis vessel to an uncharted patch of galaxy known as the Gamma Quadrant, in hopes of finding someone who can help him keep his promise to protect a race known as the Ocampa. Before long, Janeway's crew and the Maquis must do battle with a common enemy, the Kazon, and in the ensuing battle the Caretaker dies. It is now up to Janeway and Maquis leader, Chakotay (Robert Beltran), to work together in harmony, with Chakotay becoming Voyager's first officer, and another Maquis warrior, the half-Klingon, half-human B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson), taking over as Janeway's chief engineer. Also added to the "Voyager" roster are a brace of Gamma Quadrant aliens, the Ocampan Kex (Jennifer Lien) and the Talaxian Neelix (Ethan Phillips), not to mention the ship's new Doctor (Robert Picardo), actually a holographic human manifestation of the vessel's emergency medical computer program. Rounding out the main cast is Janeway's veteran comrade-in-arms Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill); Kim (Garrett Wang), a green rookie fresh from Starfleet Academy; and the Vulcan Tuvok (Tim Russ),who had signed on the Maquis ship as a Federation spy. Season one of Star Trek: Voyager finds Janeway simultaneously trying to fulfill the Caretaker's promise and to safely guide her crew back to Starfleet Command in the Alpha Quadrant. The season's slam-bang finale is dictated by the treachery of Voyager crew person Seska (Martha Hackett), who turns out to be loyal only to the Kazon. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
