Trek: The Movie is a 2018 comedy film. It was written and produced by David Howard (Galaxy Quest) and directed by Alan Peterson. The film is distributed by Excel Entertainment Group—the distributors of 17 Miracles, The Work and the Glory, and The Cokeville Miracle.
The film with a runtime of 120 mins follows a young Mormon teenager named Tom and his friends on their handcart journey. Along the way they try to smuggle in unsanctioned food, battle sibling rivalry, encounter a "special ops" Young Men's leader, match wits with a twinkie-loving skunk, and ponder doctrinal brain teasers like, "Do general Authorities go to PG-13 movies?" But, when they encounter unexpected trouble, their faith is tested much like their pioneer ancestors. The film depicts "Trek" as a sort of Mormon rite of passage.
Cast The cast includes Joel Bishop (Saints and Soldiers), Clint Pulver (Saturday's Warrior), and Ali Durham (12 Gifts of Christmas).
