A rag-tag crew of space-smugglers becomes embroiled in a plot to capture one of its crew which expands into them going up against the whole of the multiplanetary alliance.

One of the best movies I've seen. It's concise, extraordinarily well-acted, looks great, and has a phenomenal story.

It's slow and focused, with a consistent and weighty tone. If you like it within the first fifteen minutes, you'll like the rest of it.
