The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, a Vulcan, was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before. The human adventure has begun again.
This movie contains 20 potentially triggering events.
Kirk gets his fingers stamped on while dangling from the side of the Romulan drilling platform about 50 minutes into the movie. He yells in pain but there is no permanent damage.

At the beginning of the movie, Kirk is briefly restrained from behind by another man during a fist fight.
Later on, another character is strapped to a table while being tortured. This is shown a second time towards the end of the movie.
Two characters are coerced into surrendering themselves after being threatened with the destruction of their ship, and one is captured but released shortly after in a flashback.
Dr Mcoy uses a hypospray to inject Kirk, while they function like needles they do not look alike. Later on in the movie Spock is seen with a large, vaguely needle looking like object.
A few scenes could be considered claustrophobic. Kirk is released from the Enterprise via a small escape pod. The tightness of this space is briefly emphasized by the composition of the shot.
Another scene shows a character being stuck inside of a water tank and being pushed through the connecting pipes that are also filled with water. The pipes are a maximum of only twice the size of the character.
A character chooses to ram a ship into another ship while he is onboard to save the lives of his family and crew. Another chooses to die by refusing assistance after his ship is critically damaged.
There's multiple instances of Spock's half-human heritage being brought up as an insult, and McCoy makes several rude comments about Spock being half-Vulcan, calling him a "pointy-eared bastard" and a "green-blooded hobgoblin".
The Vulcan Science Academy director discusses Spock having a human mother as a disadvantage because humans are less emotionally disciplined than Vulcans.
