The manned spacecraft Ares 3 successfully arrived at Mars. Unexpectedly, an extremely destructive storm hit the astronauts, and Ares 3 was forced to interrupt its mission and return urgently. During the evacuation, astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) was hit by parts blown off the spacecraft. With little hope of survival, his teammates had to rush back and announce to the world that he had died. Unexpectedly, Mark survived with a very low probability. He hid in the space base on Mars to recuperate. The next mission to Mars will wait four years, and the supplies on the base will only last him for 31 days. After a brief period of despair, Mark decided to use his limited food to grow crops on this deserted planet in search of a ray of hope. At the same time, the Earth side quickly discovered the fact that Mark was alive, and they tried their best to deploy a rescue plan. Mark, who is fighting alone, can he wait until the rescue team arrives? The film is adapted from Andy Weir's science fiction novel of the same name.
