Writer-director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) makes his big screen debut with this humorous and action-packed feature adaptation of the short-lived FOX TV series Firefly. Picking up where the Western/sci-fi hybrid left off, the film follows a ragtag band of petty crooks and outcasts who incur the wrath of an authoritarian military alliance and gangs of space cannibals. "Joss Whedon's unassuming science-fiction adventure is superior in almost every respect to George Lucas's aggressively more ambitious screen entertainments" (Manohla Dargis, The New York Times). With Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, and Adam Baldwin.
