Captain Pike appears in the [[Reboot (fiction)|reboot]] ''[[Star Trek (2009 film)|Star Trek]]'' (2009), this time portrayed by [[Bruce Greenwood]]. In the film, Pike encourages a young, directionless [[James T. Kirk]] ([[Chris Pine]]) to follow in the footsteps of [[George Kirk (Star Trek)|his hero father]] and enlist in Starfleet.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://movies.radiofree.com/clips.cgi?id=startr11-5 |title=RadioFree.com: Star Trek film clip }}</ref> Pike is the first Captain of the USS ''Enterprise'', with the then deselected, cadet Kirk on board as a stowaway. In the culmination of the Battle of Vulcan, Pike follows an ultimatum of Nero ([[Eric Bana]]) to board the enemy ship. Pike leaves Spock in command of the ''Enterprise'' with the words: "And I'm not the captain. You are."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Star Trek (2009) / Bruce Greenwood: Pike |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/characters/nm0339304 |website=[[IMDb]]}}</ref> (Kirk later assumes Spock's role of [[Acting rank|acting]] captain.) Pike is tortured for information about Earth's defenses but is later rescued by Kirk, whom Pike also manages to save from an attack despite his wounds. At the end of the film, Pike is promoted to the rank of admiral and uses a wheelchair. Unlike his counterpart in "The Menagerie", however, Pike still retains the ability to speak and to use his upper body. He proudly yields command of the ''Enterprise'' to Kirk while he recovers from his injuries, stating that Kirk's father would be proud of his actions.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}}
