Ruairí Robinson’s debut feature, Last Days on Mars, is set to be released in Irish cinemas 11th April. Written by Clive Dawson, the film follows a crew of astronauts on the first manned mission to Mars. One of the crew members of Tantalus Base believes he has made an astounding discovery – fossilized evidence of bacterial life. Unwilling to let the relief crew claim all the glory, he disobeys orders to pack up and goes out on an unauthorized expedition to collect further samples. But a routine excavation turns to disaster when the porous ground collapses and he falls into a deep crevice and near certain death. His devastated colleagues attempt to recover his body.
