Movie Overview
The Martian 2015 is a American science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon. The film is based on Andy Weir’s 2011 novel The Martian, which was adapted into a screenplay by Drew Goddard.

The film also features Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Sean Bean, Sebastian Stan, Aksel Hennie, and Chiwetel Ejiofor in supporting roles.
In the 2030s, the crew of Ares III, a manned mission to Mars, has
established a temporary artificial habitat, called the Hab, on Mars,
where they are to stay for two months and depart back to Earth in their
orbital probe. Eighteen days into the Mars mission, however, a massive
Martian storm hits the base and the crew is forced to abandon the planet
and launch themselves because of the danger that their escape vehicle
will collapse and leave them stranded. While evacuating, astronaut Mark
Watney is lost and presumed dead as his biomonitor is damaged. With the
lives of her crew at stake, mission commander Melissa Lewis is forced to
leave the planet, leaving Watney behind.
