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
[edit]- 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
[edit]- 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
[edit]- 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
[edit]- When we get back, we have GOT to try this in the simulator...
Dialogue
[edit]- 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.
