Depiction of Mars in Fictional Works, Part IV

This is the fourth part of a nine part series. In this series, I will discuss how Mars is depicted in various fictional works such as movies, books, and games.

In Part IV, I will discuss about the depiction of Mars in the movie Red Planet. The movie depicts Mars as a habitable planet with a thin breathable atmosphere containing oxygen. The oxygen is the by-product of the native Martian insects who feed on the planet's algae. Mars is depicted as a planet capable of developing simple life and vegetation, which begs the question: could this happen on Mars a long time ago?
