The movie "The Martian" directed by Ridley Scott, starring Matt Damon is a modern tour de force of archetypal storytelling. I won't go into the details of the plot, but it blends real aspects of science with science fiction in new and interesting ways. It is a newer "Cast Away". If you liked Cast Away, you'll love "The Martian". It is Adapted from the 2011 novel of the same name by Andy Weir.
