STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES | The Cage

“The Cage” is the first pilot episode of the television series Star Trek. It was completed on January 22, 1965. It was rejected by NBC a month later, and the network ordered another pilot episode. Much of the original footage was later incorporated into the season 1 two-parter episode “The Menagerie” (1966). However, “The Cage” was first broadcast on television in its complete form in 1988.“
