In what appears to be a return to form for Ridley Scott and in a possible oscar worthy role for Matt Damon, the hottest film in cinemas at the moment is The Martian, a science fiction film based on the Novel by Andy Weir.
The film follows Matt Damon's character who has been stranded on Mars and must survive alone with limited supplies in hope that he will be rescued.

Mars has remained a staple setting and subject matter ever since.Discover the history of Timeline unavailable: Mars in Film on our interactive timeline
