During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney 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 subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive.
LUXEN Decision Guide
Does this fit your night?
The Martian makes survival feel surprisingly optimistic. Mark Watney's isolation is serious, but the movie keeps the tension moving through practical problem-solving, scientific improvisation, and the willingness of many people to solve one small problem at a time.
