ABOUT THE FILM
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 film 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
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.
Serenity is written and directed by Joss Whedon; produced by Barry Mendel; and executive-produced
by Chris Buchanan, Alisa Tager and David Lester. This film is rated PG-13. Please consult
