The Martian
Stranded on Mars after being left for dead during a deadly dust storm, brilliant astronaut Mark Watney must use his ingenuity and willpower to survive against impossible odds while the world races to rescue him before it's too late.
“Bring him home.”
Synopsis
During a manned mission to Mars, astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. However, 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.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 66+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

2015 · Box office
💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
