The Star Trek movies have been released on VHS in the UK several times, both individually and as part of boxed sets. Typically, with each new movie release, a boxset is produced to collect the entire run. The movies were released by CIC Video until the 1998 rereleases, and by Paramount Home Entertainment from the 1998 rereleases onward.
