Mission to Mars

Mission to Mars is a science fiction film about a manned Mars exploration mission that goes awry. American astronaut Jim McConnell coordinates a rescue mission for a colleague. Film inspiration was partly from the Disney attraction of the same name, to be the second Disney film based on a theme park attraction, following the 1997 made-for-TV movie Tower of Terror.
 * Directed by Brian De Palma. Written by Jim Thomas, John Thomas, and Graham Yost.

Jim McConnell

 * They're us. We're them.


 * Like Maggie said: To stand on a new world and look beyond it to the next one.

Woody Blake

 * You're just not man enough to wear jewelry.


 * Some couples dance, others go to Mars.


 * [leaving the BBQ in his 1959 Corvette] Internal combustion, boys. Accept no substitutes.

Luke Graham

 * Come on - three commanders. One ship. I don't think that's gonna work. There's not enough rocket fuel in the world to get those egos off the ground.

Terri Fisher

 * When we get back, we have GOT to try this in the simulator...

Dialogue

 * Jim McConnell: There's pressure in here.
 * Terri Fisher: Above Mars atmosphere? That's impossible.
 * Jim McConnell: We're millions of miles from Earth inside a giant white face. What's impossible?


 * Terri Fisher: The genetic difference between men and apes is only three percent. But that three percent gave us Einstein, Mozart...
 * Phil Ohlmyer: ...Jack The Ripper.


 * Luke Graham: Phil, do you read me?
 * Phil Ohlmyer: Phil isn't here right now, he left for Earth FIVE MINUTES AGO, please leave a message after the beep!


 * Jim McConnell: What is she now?
 * Phil Ohlmyer: A frog...?


 * Woody Blake: Okay, people let's look sharp now. We're gonna run this simulation one more time. If we overshoot, there's no coming back.
 * Phil Ohlmyer: Yeah, and drifting through eternity will ruin your whole day.
