==Biography==
A research team of eight people, who lived during a year-long mission at the Tantalum base (on the surface) of the planet Mars, have 19 hours before being picked up by the lander - landing - Aurora,4to travel to the mother ship, which is in orbit around the planet.
Scientist Marko Petrovich has found samples that indicate signs of life on the planet for some days now. Without revealing his discovery, he invents a ploy for a last exit to the surface and check the development of that form of life. His crewmate Richard Harrington takes Petrovich in a rover powered by batteries and solar energy, to the place where the sample had been found on the pretext that a sensor that measures radiation on the surface of the planet was failing.
Having obtained a soil sample with the biological agent present, Petrovich is about to return to the electric vehicle rover when a crack opens in the ground and he falls. Captain Charles Brunel and his partner Lauren Dalby arrive at the crash site and plan to explore the grave to recover Marko's body. Dalby stays at the wellhead, but mysteriously disappears before the team returns with more rescue equipment. Brunel and Vincent Campbell eventually explore the well and find that some kind of life has developed there.
Dalby and Marko reappear walking in the base after having become Martian biological agents: they are now zombie-like, very aggressive, with blackened skin and no trace of their original personality and can stay alive in the planet's atmosphere without the need for planetary survival space suits. Marko attacks Harrington with an electric drill in his abdomen and the other crew members are also attacked. Several fights and escapes of the zombies happen through the habitat modules of the Martian base. Dalby attacks Brunel with an axe and causes an exposed broken collarbone. He is taken to a nearby hydroponic greenhouse, where he dies (without explainable cause) and minutes later is resurrected due to infection by biological agents. During a zombie attack on the greenhouse, Robert Irwin deliberately lets die the scientist Kim Aldrich – who throughout the mission had angered her crewmates. Rebecca Lane is also injured in a leg.
Eventually Campbell, Irwin, and Lane flee the base in an electric rover vehicle as zombies chase them on foot, walking across the planet's surface. When the solar battery of the rover in which they escaped from the base begins to run out, they change the trajectory of the rover to try to reach the other rover that was parked in a nearby area, next to the crack with its battery charge almost intact. The selfish Irwin with the pretext that he must make amends for his mistakes during the day, makes a dangerous exploration of the second rover parked in the middle of the ravine and ends up stealing it, arguing that Lane is infected due to a wound and because the zombies are following them closely.
Waiting for the sun to rise to power the first rover's solar batteries, Campbell falls asleep and Lane flees knowing she is contaminated and turning into a zombie. When Campbell wakes up he runs after her, follows her footprints on the surface of the planet with the rover, but she dies by removing her space helmet and resurrecting as a zombie attacks him. In a remnant moment of her former human consciousness she asks him to please kill her completely, and Campbell smashes her skull with rock blows. Campbell retires and with the rover charged with energy continues on his way and meets Irwin who arrives separately at the landing site - landing - of the Aurora spacecraft, with the other rover vehicle he hijacked earlier.
Campbell can hear the radio signals of every astronaut on the Aurora landing craft, but they can't hear his warnings about a failure in the rover. They get off the ship and are killed by Kim Aldrich now turned into a zombie. When Campbell arrives at the site, he discovers that zombies Marko Petrovich, Lauren Dalby, and Richard Harrington also died from wounds from their infections. Campbell enters the landing ship Aurora and finds Irwin, who – clearly infected by the pathogen that turns them into zombies and with its last traces of human consciousness – initiates the automatic emergency launch of the Aurora, which takes him and Campbell into orbit as they fight to the death. Campbell temporarily knocks Irwin unconscious and ejects his body from the ship, and the contagious drops of his blood into the void of space.
Campbell leaves a time-delayed message to mission control on Earth, saying that he does not have enough fuel to reach the mother ship in a high orbit, due to a failure in the ship during the fight with Irwin and an excessive expenditure of fuel, but that the supplies (oxygen and food) on board can last for months by staying in low orbit of the planet and if they want to launch a rescue. from Earth. However he argues that this may not be advisable as it is possible that he is also infected with a strange and unknown pathogen that turns humans into aggressive, violent and murderous zombies, after having found a small cut on his face from the fight with Irwin, he proposes that if in the following minutes he discovers that he is infected, it will commit suicide with a violent re-entry into the atmosphere of Mars. The film ends before the response from mission control arrives.
