15 Great Movies Starring Star Trek Actors

3. Hell Or High Water - Chris Pine (James T. Kirk)

Having first made his mark as a heartthrob in the sequel to The Princess Diaries and than announced his leading man action credentials with Trek, Pine proved that he could front up awards season favourites like many of the medium's finest actors with his rough and raw performance in David Mackenzie's heist western in 2016.

Though Jeff Bridges would walk away with an Oscar nomination for his performance as an aging lawman, the latter-day Captain Kirk is every inch his equal as the rancher who takes to robbing banks with his brother in order to avoid foreclosure on his property from the very same financial institutions, culminating in one of modern cinema's most affectingly elegiac finales.
