"The best IMAX® ever made." -- The New York Times
For centuries human beings have gazed at Earth's nearest planetary neighbor, Mars, dreaming of exploring its surface and divining its mysteries.
Now the impossible has become possible. In the new IMAX production "Roving Mars," presented by Walt Disney Pictures, award-winning director George Butler and Academy Award®-nominated producer Frank Marshall (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Seabiscuit, The Sixth Sense) document the remarkable Mars mission which sent two intrepid, death-defying explorers -- Spirit and Opportunity, the Mars rovers -- to the Red Planet. They now send their stunning IMAX images back to Earth.
Executive Producers: Frank Marshall & George Butler
Narrated by: Paul Newman & Steve Squyres (the Principal Investigator of
the Mars Exploration Rover Project).
