You'll feel what it's like to stand on the startling surface of the planet that's intrigued mankind for eons. Roving Mars -- It's the ride of a lifetime.
 
"Butler deftly intercuts real footage with CGI, heightening the drama, and the film becomes especially compelling..."  Joshua Katzman, Chicago Reader
"...splendidly photographed...[the film] takes us breathlessly through the process of designing Spirit and Opportunity..."  Kyle Smith, New York Post

 


Editor's Note

Follow the adventures of NASA's rovers Spirit and Opportunity as the robotic vehicles explore the surface of Mars and transmit images back to Earth. With a score by Philip Glass (THE HOURS, NOTES ON A SCANDAL) and an introduction by Paul Newman, ROVING MARS recounts the preparation behind the rovers' seven months in space and its Mars landing in January 2004. The mission is illustrated in detail, with a mixture of actual footage, computer animation, and information provided by NASA scientists.
