If you loved The Captains, try Chaos on the Bridge

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by William Shatner, and they sit in Documentary / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Captains, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chaos on the Bridge is

Gene Roddenberry meets J.J. Abrams with a Starfleet Academy twist. Behind-the-scenes doc follows the chaotic birth of Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1986 when TV’s biggest gamble hits budget cuts, cast turnover, and philistine execs. Shatner’s manic energy saves it before the uniforms turn teal.
