The Martian, Ridley Scott's 2015 sci-fi drama starring Matt Damon, has climbed back into Prime Video's top ten most-streamed films, sitting at number six according to Flix Patrol. The resurgence appears linked to the box-office success of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which also stars Damon and earned $264.1 million internationally in its opening weekend, prompting renewed interest in his back catalogue.

Based on Andy Weir's novel, The Martian follows astronaut Mark Watney, who is stranded and presumed dead on Mars after his crew is forced to evacuate during a storm, and must survive alone using limited supplies until a rescue mission arrives four years later. The film, written by Drew Goddard, drew some controversy in 2016 when it won the Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy over more traditional comedies, a decision many felt was unfair given its dramatic tone, though it is now generally remembered as a heartfelt survival story anchored by Damon's performance.
