Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)
Kirk & Spock discover that the Klingon Chancellor's murder was carried out by a conspiracy of Humans, Klingons and Romulans who don't want peace between the Federation and Klingon Empire. Lt. Valeris (Kim Catrrall), Admiral Cartwright (Brock Peters), Klingon General Chang (Christopher Plummer), Col. West (Rene Auberjonois from DS9) were all in on it, but the Chancellor's daughter was not. Kirk learns that the conspiracy's next target is the Federation President (Kurtwood Smith from "That 70's Show" & RoboCop) at the next peace conference.
Before Kirk can get there on the Enterprise, he and Sulu's Starship Excelsior engage in a space battle with Chang's spaceship - a "Bird of Prey" that can fire while "cloaked". (Uhura has the brainstorm that allows Kirk to beat Chang's ship: jury-rig a photon-torpedo with a sensor head that picks up exhaust.)
After dispatching Chang, Kirk and crew beam down and save the President (and the peace process) in the nick of time, and Scotty nabs the Klingon assassin (who in the TV version turns out to be Col. West in disguise). Kirk makes a nice speech about peace and the future, and everybody goes home happy. Unfortunately, Starfleet sends orders mothballing the Enterprise. (Wasn't this ship new only two movies ago?)
Kirk puts in his final captain's log, hinting that they're about to pass on their mission to another crew, a new generation. The Enterprise flies off into the starlight.
