Detailed product description

\"Arena\" was based on a script by Trek producer Gene L. Coon, the other indispensable figure (besides Gene Roddenberry) in making Star Trek what it was. After writing what he believed was an original teleplay about a one-on-one battle between Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and the reptilian commander of an enemy vessel, Coon realized he had probably been subconsciously inspired by a similar short story written by Fredric Brown (who was promptly credited and paid). The concept of a human-and-alien duel to the death in primitive terrain, however, was slightly ubiquitous in the 1960s (see \"Fun and Games,\" a masterpiece from the original Outer Limits TV show) and was revisited in the \'80s via the Arnold Schwarzenegger feature Predator . But under Coon\'s guidance and direction by Joseph Pevney, \"Arena\" stands on its own as a particularly strong story of what battle does to one\'s humanity. Shatner is in great form for this one. --Tom Keogh SKU:ADI6300213234PROP 65 WARNING: This product can expose you to some kind of chemicals, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
