Mission to Mars

Mission to Mars is a science fiction film about a manned Mars exploration mission that goes awry. American astronaut Jim McConnell coordinates a rescue mission for a colleague.

Dialogue Jim McConnell: There's pressure in here. Terri Fisher: Above Mars atmosphere? That's impossible. Jim McConnell: We're millions of miles from Earth inside a giant white face. What's impossible? Terri Fisher: The genetic difference between men and apes is only three percent. But that three percent gave us Einstein, Mozart... Phil Ohlmyer: ...Jack The Ripper. Luke Graham: Phil, do you read me? Phil Ohlmyer: Phil isn't here right now, he left for Earth FIVE MINUTES AGO, please leave a message after the beep! Jim McConnell: What is she now? Phil Ohlmyer: A frog...? Woody Blake: Okay, people let's look sharp now. We're gonna run this simulation one more time. If we overshoot, there's no coming back. Phil Ohlmyer: Yeah, and drifting through eternity will ruin your whole day. Taglines Let There Be Life.
