Ridley Scott Turns Matt Damon Into The Martian

20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for The Martian, an adaptation of the first published novel of writer Andy Weir. The film focuses on an astronaut accidentally left behind on a mission to Mars, who then must keep himself alive until a rescue team could reach him, four years later. The film is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Matt Damon and an all-start cast.

During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring "the Martian" home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney's safe return. Based on a best-selling novel, and helmed by master director Ridley Scott, THE MARTIAN features a star studded cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover.

The Martian is in theaters November 25th.
