Brand new factory sealed dvd is printed on brilliant foil stock. Helps tie-up loose ends of the TV show while providing a self-contained continuity for newcomers.

As the film opens, a psychic named River Tam (Summer Glau) is rescued from Alliance mind-washers by her brother, Simon, and then we learn that River was unwisely exhibited to a roomfull of important Alliance parliamentarians. Because she can read minds, she knows their secrets.

River and Simon are soon enough allied with a team of freelance smugglers on a banged-up old ship named SERENITY. Malcom (Nathan Fillion) is the captain, and his crew includes the pilot, Wash, his wife, Zoe, the engineer, Kaylee, and the tough guy, Jayne (Adam Baldwin). On their trail is the most competent and feared of the Alliance's agents, the Operative (Chiweatl Ejiofor).
