Storyline

During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and 
left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile
 planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find 
a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international 
scientists work tirelessly to bring "the Martian" home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring,
 if not impossible, rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return.
