Red Dust (2016)

The Hi SEAS research station situated at the Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii runs into trouble when some of the test subjects break down psychologically and get into a fight that threatens the integrity of their study. The effects resonate outward and Ed Lorenz, the Chief Medical Officer for the Constellation 1 mission to mars is informed. Ed seeks to convince Henry Sidgwick, Mission Director for Constellation that the one-way mission to mars needs to be canceled in light of this new information. Without the mars simulation running in Hawaii they cannot guarantee the safety of the actual mission nor stop the same psychological stresses from affecting their mars team. The countdown to the launch raises tension and pits friend against friend as Ed and Henry seek compromise and understanding before engine ignition.
