In the future, pollution and overpopulation are making the Earth uninhabitable. Humanity's only
hope is to colonize the planet Mars by using algae to produce oxygen, but when the algae
mysteriously disappear, a group of astronauts are sent to Mars on a mission to learn why. The
spaceship, led by Commander Kate Bowman (Carrie-Anne Moss), is preparing to land when a
sudden emergency forces her to crash-land on the planet without supplies or equipment. The
survivors, including systems engineer Gallagher (Val Kilmer) and scientists Burchenal (Tom
Sizemore) and Pettengil (Simon Baker), have to figure out how to return to their ship while also
learning the truth about the missing algae. As if things weren't bad enough, they have to avoid
AMEE, the ship's malfunctioning robot who is trying to kill them all.
