About: The Train Job

"The Train Job" is the second episode of US science-fiction television series Firefly created by Joss Whedon, although it was the first to be shown. (The pilot, "Serenity", was not shown until nine other episodes had been aired. ) According to the DVD commentary, Whedon and Tim Minear had only two days to write the script. The crew of Serenity take on a train heist commissioned by a sinister crime lord. The cargo they are after, however, is worth more than they know.
