Despite Simon's objections, Mal brings River on a bank robbery. The siblings have found refuge aboard the transport spaceship Serenity with Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds, first mate Zoe Washburne, pilot Hoban "Wash" Washburne, mercenary Jayne Cobb, and mechanic Kaylee Frye. Consequently, an Alliance agent known only as the Operative is tasked with recapturing her. During her training, River inadvertently read the minds of several top government officials and learned their secrets. River Tam is conditioned by Alliance scientists into becoming a psychic and an assassin but is soon rescued by her brother Dr. The central planets formed the Alliance and won a war against the outer planet Independents who resisted joining the Alliance. In the 26th century, humanity has colonized a new solar system.
Serenity was released in North America on September 30, 2005, by Universal Pictures to generally positive reviews and several accolades, including the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, the Prometheus Special Award and the Nebula Award for Best Script, but underperformed at the box office. The film stars Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Their lives of smuggling and cargo-running are interrupted by a psychic passenger who harbors a dangerous secret. The captain and first mate are veterans of the Unification War, having fought on the losing Independent side against the Alliance. Set in 2517, Serenity is the story of the crew of Serenity, a " Firefly-class" spaceship.

The film is a continuation of Whedon's short-lived 2002 Fox television series Firefly and stars the same cast, taking place after the events of the final episode. But as River observes, "Some people don't like to be meddled with.Serenity is a 2005 American space Western film written and directed by Joss Whedon in his feature directorial debut.

Like Brave New World and 1984, the movie plays like a critique of contemporary society, with the Alliance as Big Brother, enemy of discontent. River is in possession of a secret about this process that the Alliance would do anything to suppress. Turns out the Alliance was simply trying to bring contentment to its crowded planetary system, by distracting them from their problems and making them feel like they had a life. "Serenity" is made of dubious but energetic special effects, breathless velocity, much imagination, some sly verbal wit and a little political satire.

What a crock, especially considering that Joss Whedon, the TV series author (and writer-director of "Serenity") earlier created "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," and so deserved the benefit of the doubt. Science fiction fans will recognize the plot line and most of the characters from a short-lived Fox series named "Firefly," which (I learn in a letter from Stephen McNeil of Sydney, Nova Scotia), was canceled in mid-season, but not before the episodes were carelessly shown out of proper order. On their trail is the most competent and feared of the Alliance's agents, The Operative ( Chiwetel Ejiofor).
Malcolm ( Nathan Fillion) is the captain, and his crew includes the pilot Wash ( Alan Tudyk), his wife, Zoe ( Gina Torres), the engineer Kaylee ( Jewel Staite) and the tough guy Jayne ( Adam Baldwin). River and Simon are soon enough allied with a team of free-lance smugglers on a banged-up old ship named Serenity. Because she can read minds, she knows their secrets. As the film opens, a psychic named River Tam ( Summer Glau) is rescued from Alliance mind-washers by her brother Simon ( Sean Maher), and then we learn that River was unwisely exhibited to a roomful of important Alliance parliamentarians. It takes place in a solar system of a dozen terraformed planets and "hundreds of moons," and there is a war going on between the Alliance, which runs things and wants everybody to be happy, and a group of rebels who begin to make disturbing discoveries.
"Serenity" is an old-fashioned space opera, and differs from a horse opera mostly in that it involves space, not horses. I say this not with disapproval, but with affection.
