In 2050, the crew of NASA's Mars mission has arrived on the red planet for about a month stay after only (six sols) i.e day on Mars an intensive dust storm attacked their Mars vehicle, during this storm an antenna of astronaut Jason Woods get torn his spacesuit radio was disabled. he was flung away by the wind all the other crewmates presumed that he is no more. however, Jason is still alive but he won't have a radio so he cannot communicate with anyone.

however, with the help of his experience, he tried to solve every problem which comes front him he begins to grow potatoes in his crew's Mars habitat he begins to generate water for the plants. NASA just discover that Jason is alive when the satellite shows his activities, NASA begins to find ways to rescue him but with the other crewmates. Jason then plans to drive 5400kms to the sight of the next mars mission which will land after five years whose Mars vehicle is already positioned. he begins to modify one of the rovers he also added solar cells and batteries to it he brings it back to the habitat the director of the Mars mission convinces the NASA administrator to tell the other crewmates about Jason's survival, all were shocked.

the canvas at one of the habitats gets airlocked which Jason used so many times and it is not designed to use it so many times, which nearly killed Jason. but now his plants are dead which was making him starve. NASA prepares a probe to send Jason supplies, but the rocket explodes after it takes off. NASA makes a deal with CHINA NATIONAL SPACE ORGANISATION which provides them a booster to try again. they have no time to make the probe with a soft landing, they build a capsule whose cargo can survive a crash on the surface at 670mph. then the supply arrives at the surface successfully.


Jason starts again to modify the rover which can help him to lift up from Mars at the next Mars mission sight, he faces a short circuit so now he can't communicate with Earth but he can only communicate in one way. after Jason leaves for his destination NASA discovers that a storm is approaching his path but they can't inform him. on the way Jason becomes aware of the darkening sky he begins to calculate the direction and the shape of the storm which will help him to avoid it. Jason reaches the Mars vehicle and he makes contact with NASA, he receives instruction from NASA to reduce the Mars vehicle's weight which includes removing the front of the vehicle which he has to cover by the habitat canvas. NASA sends the crew to reach Jason and bring him back home, finally after many difficulties the crew brings Jason back. Jason joyfully expresses his feelings of being rescued, he faced many obstacles but he not stopped, this teaches humans to help those who are in need.
