Synopsis:
Joss Whedon—the Oscar-and Emmy-nominated writer/director
responsible for the worldwide television phenomena
of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel—now applies
his trademark compassion and wit to a small band
of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in
his feature film directorial debut, Serenity.
The films centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds,
a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic
civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off
small crimes and transport-for-hire abroad his
ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew
who are the closest thing he has left to family-
squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.
When Mal takes on two new passengers—a young
doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister—he
gets much more than he bargained for. The pair
are fugitives from the coalition dominating the
universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim
the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming
the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves
caught between the unstoppable military force
of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic
fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very
edge of space. Haunted by vastly different enemies,
they begin to discover that the greatest danger
to them may be on board Serenity herself.
