Bring him home.
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.
"Damon has never seemed more at home than he does here, millions of miles adrift. Would any other actor have shouldered the weight of the role with such diligent grace?"
— Anthony Lane

"This film rouses cheers because its hopefulness is earned. The Martian doesn't contain a single up-with-people bromide, and it never sacrifices tension for jokes or sentimental gestures."
