When the first manned mission to Mars meets with a catastrophic and mysterious disaster, a rescue mission is launched to investigate the tragedy and bring back any survivors. This is the inspirational story of the astronauts of the hurried Mars Recovery mission, the almost insurmountable dangers that confront the heroic crew on their journey through space, and the amazing discovery they make when they finally reach the Red Planet.

A space adventure is always going to warrant interest. Previous forays into space, in 1998, Deep Impact and Armageddon were box office smashes, and Mission To Mars seems set to follow the trend. Although the film has no bankable mega star like Bruce Willis, the ensemble cast is very good. With excellent scenery (check out the stills above), this film looks set to be a smash hit.
