Lost on Mars

In a near future where Earth is becoming uninhabitable, a crew of astronauts embarks on a perilous mission to Mars to find a new home for humanity. When a catastrophic event strands them billions of miles from home, the surviving crew members must battle the harsh Martian environment and their own dwindling hope to find a way back.
