Brian de Palma's • The year is 2020 and NASA has made another giant leap for mankind, successfully landing a team of astronauts on Mars. Shortly after their arrival on the Martian surface, however, Mission Commander Luke Graham (DON CHEADLE) and his colleagues encounter something bizarre, shocking, and chilling that brings about a catastrophic and mysterious disaster that decimates the crew. Graham is able to send one hasty, cryptic message back to Earth before his nightmare begins.

Haunted by the enigmatic last communication received from the ill-fated Mars One crew, NASA hurriedly prepares and launches a rescue mission to investigate the tragedy and bring back survivors -- if any. Copiloted by Commander Woody Blake (TIM ROBBINS) and Jim McConnell (GARY SINISE), with colleagues Dr. Terri Fisher (CONNIE NIELSEN) and scientist Phil Ohlmyer (JERRY O'CONNELL) on board, the astronauts set out on a heroic six-month journey to Mars.

'Mission to Mars' is the extraordinary story of the astronauts of the Mars Recovery Mission, the nearly insurmountable dangers that confront the heroic crew on their journey through space, and the amazing discovery they make when they finally reach Mars.
