The Martian

The Martian (2015) — watch online on iFILM: Ridley Scott's sci-fi survival film starring Matt Damon, based on Andy Weir's bestselling novel and produced by 20th Century Fox.

Astronaut Mark Watney is left for dead on Mars after a violent storm forces his crew to abort the Ares 3 mission. He is not dead. But he is alone on a planet with no radio contact, a food supply measured in months, and the next scheduled launch four years away. A botanist by training, Watney rigs the habitat module into a farm — growing potatoes in Martian soil fertilized the hard way. Back on Earth, NASA director Teddy Sanders (Jeff Daniels) and mission controller Vincent Kapoor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are just discovering he survived. His commander Melissa Lewis (Jessica Chastain) doesn't know yet.

Ridley Scott keeps the tone sharp and problem-focused — no melodrama, just one calculation after another. The film earned seven Oscar nominations and two Golden Globe Awards. Stream The Martian (2015) in full online on iFILM.
