American film editor who cut Star Trek: First Contact in 1996, the Borg time-travel adventure that was the first feature directed by Jonathan Frakes.
John W. Wheeler edited Star Trek: First Contact, the eighth feature film, released in 1996.
The film interweaves three strands, the Borg takeover of the Enterprise-E, Picard's growing obsession, and the efforts of Riker's team to get Zefram Cochrane's warp ship off the ground in Montana, and Wheeler's cutting keeps them moving in parallel towards the launch of the Phoenix.
First Contact was his only Star Trek feature, and it remains the best received of the Next Generation films.
