Sanders refuses on the grounds that the satellite feeds are public and broadcasting pictures of Watney's corpse would be a political and budgetary disaster for NASA. Mars Mission Director Vincent Kapoor ( Chiwetel Ejiofor) talks to Sanders about getting satellite time to locate Watney's body. At NASA in Houston, Texas, Sanders has just returned from a memorial service for Mark Watney, where he spoke about Watney's dedication to exploration. Luckily for him, he's a botanist and devises a plan to grow potatoes.
Therefore, Watney determines that he has to grow three years' worth of food on a planet where nothing grows. He sits down to make a video log, where he outlines the situation: he's alive, but he can't contact Earth or Hermes it'll be four years before the next manned mission is launched and with the food supply in the habitat meant for him and the other five crew members, he has almost a year's worth of food, or a little longer if he rations. In a painful procedure, Watney pulls the antenna out, uses forceps to fish out a piece that broke off in the wound, then staples the wound shut. He's been impaled by part of an antenna, which still protrudes from his abdomen the combination of the antenna and his own blood sealed the suit just enough to keep most of his air from leaking out. His oxygen is depleting rapidly, so he makes his way back to the habitat station. Watney wakes up on Mars on what is Sol 21 (mission day 21) after the storm has passed. Back on Earth, NASA Director Teddy Sanders ( Jeff Daniels) holds a press conference to announce that while the Hermes crew succeeded in leaving Mars, Mark Watney was lost, and he is declared dead. The pilot, Martinez, is barely able to keep the rocket from toppling but the launch from the planet is successful. They head back into the MAV without Watney and lift off. Lewis tries to guide the others to find Watney, but visibility is very poor and the storm is way too strong for them. A satellite dish breaks off and strikes Watney, knocking him out of sight of the rest of the crew.
Heavy winds and sand gusts surround them. Watney argues for waiting it out and brings up the rear as the crew heads toward the MAV (Mars Ascent Vehicle), the ship that will take them back to the orbiting Hermes, in their suits. The storm's intensity and high winds lead Commander Lewis to order a mission abort. The crew learns that a storm is approaching. At the landing site of the shuttle Ares III, Acidalia Planitia, Mars, at a time in the near future, the crew of the Hermes including Commander Melissa Lewis ( Jessica Chastain), botanist Mark Watney ( Matt Damon), IT guru Beth Johanssen ( Kate Mara), pilot Rick Martinez ( Michael Peña), flight surgeon Chris Beck ( Sebastian Stan), and navigator and chemist Alex Vogel ( Aksel Hennie) are gathering samples before re-entering their living facility, the HAB.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. Now, NASA's brilliant minds need to come up with an effective solution.
All alone on a lifeless rock-140 million miles away from Earth, and in the face of limited resources-the stranded astronaut must do everything in his power to survive, as unexpected satellite photos prove that Mark is still alive.
However, when a sudden space-storm forces them to abort the ambitious mission, the injured botanist, Mark Watney, finds himself marooned on the Red Planet, left for dead by friends and colleagues. In a not-so-distant 2035, the intrepid crew of the Ares III expedition safely lands on the arid red landscape of the distant planet Mars. Meanwhile, the astronauts he left behind realize the severity of his plight and join forces with an international coalition of scientists to launch a rescue mission in defiance of NASA protocol. After an exploratory mission goes awry, lone astronaut Mark Watney is left for dead on the hostile surface of Mars and must use his scientific ingenuity to homestead an enclosed habitat where he can survive.
