Sanders finally allows Henderson to inform Watney's crewmates.

NASA transmits a software patch to link the rover with Pathfinder, enabling communication by text. Using Pathfinder 's camera and motor, he establishes visual contact with NASA. Watney takes the rover on a one-month journey to retrieve the Pathfinder probe, which fell silent in 1997. NASA director Teddy Sanders releases the news to the public, but decides to not tell the Ares III crew so that they will remain focused on their mission, over flight director Mitch Henderson's strong objection. On Earth, NASA satellite planner Mindy Park, reviewing satellite images, notices moved equipment and realizes Watney must be alive. He also begins modifying the rover for the journey to the Ares IV MAV site. He then cuts up and plants whole potatoes intended for a special occasion. Watney's immediate concern is food being a botanist, he creates a garden inside the Hab using Martian soil fertilized with the crew's bio-waste and manufactures water from leftover rocket fuel. In four years, the Ares IV will land 3,200 kilometers (2,000 mi) away at the Schiaparelli crater. Unable to communicate with Earth, his only chance of rescue is the next Mars mission.
As Watney recovers, he begins a video diary. He returns to the crew's surface habitat ("Hab") and treats his wound.
Watney awakens after the storm, injured and with a low-oxygen warning. With the MAV on the verge of toppling, the remaining crew takes off for their orbiting vessel, the Hermes. The telemetry from his suit's bio-monitor is damaged and Watney is presumed dead. The mission is scrubbed, but as the crew evacuates, astronaut Mark Watney is struck by debris. A severe dust storm threatens to topple their Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV). In 2035, the crew of the Ares III mission to Mars is exploring Acidalia Planitia on Martian solar day (sol) 18 of their 31- sol expedition.

Wadi Rum in Jordan was also used for exterior filming. Twenty sets were built on one of the largest sound stages in the world in Budapest, Hungary. Filming began in November 2014 and lasted approximately seventy days. Scott replaced Goddard as director, and with Damon in place as the main character, production was approved. Producer Simon Kinberg began developing the film after Fox optioned the novel in March 2013, which Drew Goddard adapted into a screenplay and was initially attached to direct, but the film did not move forward.

It also stars Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sean Bean, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan, Aksel Hennie, Mackenzie Davis, Donald Glover, and Benedict Wong.

Drew Goddard adapted the screenplay from the 2011 novel The Martian by Andy Weir. The Martian is a 2015 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon.
