This sci-fi movie depicts the journey of astronauts from different countries as they embark on the first manned mission to Mars. It highlights the challenges involved in the 1001-day mission to uncover the mysteries of the Red Planet. While it has been over half a century since the first astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon, landing on Mars is a much more complex goal that requires advanced technology and poses greater risks. This movie portrays the exhilaration of finally achieving this long-held dream of visiting other planets in person, and the international cooperation that would be required to turn fiction into reality.
