"Earth is dying and humans are looking for an alternate place to live. NASA sends 6 astronauts to Mars to investigate the land and search for life. When they get there the base they were supposed to live in is destroyed. They find out tiny insects are on Mars and are eating everything up. To add to the problem, the robot they brought with them is malfunctioning and has gone into killing mode. Now stranded on the planet with no food or water they must survive the weather and these creatures and make it back home."
