Serenity 200512/12/2023 The crew members (all familiar to Firefly fans) are the pilot, Hoban "Wash" Washburn ( Alan Tudyk) his wife Zoe ( Gina Torres), second in command, a veteran and war comrade of Mal's hired gun Jayne Cobb ( Adam Baldwin) and the engineer, Kaywinnet Lee "KayLee" Frye ( Jewel Staite). Serenity is about to break atmo on the planet Lilac on one of the crews' not-always-legal jobs - this time a bank heist. The credit sequence, set eight months after the events of the teaser, introduces us to the "Firefly" class freighter Serenity, owned and captained by former Independent soldier Malcolm (Mal) Reynolds ( Nathan Fillion). He has orders to deal with the security lapse and the project director's failure as well as to find River and bring her back. Simon Tam ( Sean Maher), infiltrates the lab and frees her, but the breakout was a security recording viewed after the event by the Operative ( Chiwetel Ejiofor). This classroom scenario is seen to be the memory or dream of River Tam ( Summer Glau), who is in a drugged sleep under confinement at the Alliance Academy facility, being groomed as some form of programmed assassin. The events in the teaser occur prior to the first episode of the TV series: The Universal logo changes to show ships leaving 25th Century Earth as a teacher's voice-over describes the exodus from "Earth that was" and the terraforming and colonization of planets in the new 'verse.' An introduction to the system government known as the Alliance follows, mentioning the war for system-wide control - the War of Independence, as it's known to the losing opposition, the Browncoats. The pre-title teaser provides backstory for those unfamiliar with the Firefly TV series.
