Movie: Red Planet


                Have you ever imagined that one day human beings will spend their life on Mars or Moon? In many decades, astronauts search for solutions to save a dying Earth by searching on Mars. However, setting up our foot on the planet is not only a dangerous and arduous process, but also affects the lives. To replay the vivid picture of this journey, Antony Hoffman released a science fiction film called Red Planet on November 10, 2000. And the following information is about the plot of the movie “Red Planet”:

                
In the near future, Earth is dying. A new colony on Mars could be humanity's only hope. A team of American astronauts, each a specialist in a different field, is making the first manned expedition to the red planet and must struggle to overcome the differences in their personalities, backgrounds and ideologies for the overall good of the mission. When their equipment suffers life-threatening damage and the crew must depend on one another for survival on the hostile surface of Mars, their doubts, fears and questions about God, man's destiny and the nature of the universe become defining elements in their fates. In this alien environment they must come face to face with their most human selves
