Firefly

500 years from now, Captain Malcolm ''Mal'' Reynolds is surviving in outer space. After losing the war for independence against the interplanetary government ''The Alliance'', he escapes with his ship, the Firefly Class freighter ''Serenity''. Together with his crew they must undertake legal and illegal tasks to fight for their lives.
On the run for the government, the Serenity crew tries to stay under the radar of The Alliance. Mal's loyal crew consists of his first mate and fellow army veteran Zoe Warren, pilot Hoban 'Wash' Washburn, a tough guy named Jayne Cobb, engineer Kaylee Frye, fugitives Doctor Simon Tam and his psychic sister River. Firefly is produced, directed and written by Joss Whedon (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL, SERENITY) and Tim Minear (ANGEL, WONDERFALLS).
