With realism and accuracy in movies becoming increasingly scrutinized, Scott's 2015 sci-fi film has been hailed as one of the most scientifically accurate movies ever. The official synopsis reads:"When astronauts blast off from the planet Mars, they leave behind Mark Watney, presumed dead after a fierce storm. Like many of Scott's movies, The Martian was a massive hit when it opened in theaters in 2015. 20th Century FoxLet's get one thing out of the way first: of course, The Martian isn't 100% accurate. It might not be 100% accurate like some people believe, especially during the storm on Mars scene.
