Directed by acclaimed film-maker Ridley Scott, The Martian is an exciting new science-fiction film based on Andy Weir's best-selling novel of the same name.
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to survive and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive.
Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring “the Martian” home, while his crewmates plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney’s safe return.
Find out what happens when The Martian opens in local cinemas on October 1.
