Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran on the losing side of a galactic civil war, now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard 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. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself. This is the feature film version of the late, lamented sci-fi cult TV series "Firefly."

关于影片：

　　除了漫画之外，越来越多的电视剧也被改编成为电影搬上大银幕，科幻电视剧自然是最好的选择。这部类似Star Trek的影片由环球影业发行，影片的导演Joss Whedon曾担任 Angel，Buffy，Firefly等电视剧的导演和编剧，这一次负责电影的导演和编剧工作，不知道能不能应付得来。可千万别把这部大制作的科幻电影拍得跟电视电影似的。影片的演员完全是电视剧的原班人马。惭愧的是这部电视剧我从没看过，这一次还是头一回听说。
