Serenity is a neo-noir mystery thriller directed by Steven Knight, featuring a high-profile cast including Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway.

The film gained notoriety for a mid-movie narrative shift that reveals the world the characters inhabit is actually a simulated reality—a video game created by Baker Dill's son in the real world to cope with his own domestic trauma.

YIFY is one of the most recognizable names in the history of BitTorrent-based movie distribution.

Shortly after the film's theatrical and digital home-media release, YIFY-branded versions appeared on various torrent repositories.
