Joss Whedon resurrects his critically acclaimed, short-lived TV series "Firefly" as a feature film about a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Fillion), who flies below the radar pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. When Mal takes on two new passengers—doctor Simon Tam (Maher) and his unstable, telepathic sister, River (Glau)—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. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself. (Suzanne Hodges)
