When it is determined that existence of life on Earth is becoming limited, a group of six astronauts/scientists head the first manned mission to the planet Mars to try and understand its climate and to see whether it could be inhabitable in the future.
Largely uneventful sci-fi futuristic thriller, which isn't all that thrilling.

Released on November 10th, 2000, exactly 8 months to the day after Touchstone's similar project Mission To Mars.
