About The Cage
"The Cage" is the first pilot episode of the American television series Star Trek. It was completed on January 22, 1965. The episode was written by Gene Roddenberry and directed by Robert Butler. In February 1965, NBC rejected it, and the network ordered another pilot episode, which became "Where No Man Has Gone Before." Much of the original footage from "The Cage" was later incorporated into the season 1 two-part episode "The Menagerie" (1966); "The Cage" was first released to the public on VHS in 1986, with a special introduction by Gene Roddenberry, as a hybrid of the color footage that was used in "The Menagerie" and black and white footage which was not used in "The Menagerie." It was first broadcast on television in its complete all-color form in 1988. The black and white and all-color versions were also released in various standard-definition media, including LaserDisc, VHS, and DVD formats.
