Special Report: Journey To Mars
Starring Keith Carradine, Judge Reinhold, Alfre Woodard, Richard Schiff, Rosalind Chao.
"August 29, 2005.
With only hours to touchdown, tension build as Captain Eugene Slader (Keith Carradine) prepares to land the massive spaceship Destiny and establish man's first off-world colony on the hostile and airless Red Planet.
But back on Earth, mass demonstrations against the pioneering flight threaten chaos. As planet-fall looms ever closer, Captain Slader falls prey to a mysterious illness and the great ship's systems begin to break down.
Can Destiny's mission have been sabotaged? And will her crew be the first victims in the battle for who controls the stars?"
Director of Photography - Bill Klages
Teleplay by Augustus Taylor

So this does exist. Took me forever to find it and thought I must have imagined seeing it as a child.
I'm here because of Rosalind Chao's 64th birthday. It's my 19th movie with her in it. Thanks for uploading.
I love these old made for tv movies. This movie, Special Bulletin, Without Warning, Countdown To Looking Glass, are fun to watch.
And let's not forget the GOAT: Ghostwatch!
@@bigcityreporter Yes
@@BarryJowers I just love this format, one good example is also the Special Report from Dawn of the Dead (2004) DVD
I miss these types of made for tv movies if I recall they had a few like this just love them thanks for posting
Oh my god... It's full of stars.
Thanks for the upload. This movie has been haunting me for nigh on 25 years. Glad to finally find it somewhere and confirm it wasn't a strange dream.
Same here. I had given up on ever finding it again. That final scene.....
Dam you for this upload ??!!. I've never seen it ??!! And now I'm goi.ng to be "haunted by it for the next 25 years.. the only disaster movie THATS made me want a real disaster to happen whilst watching this.... thats bad..
I remember watching this just once 20ish years ago
I've been wanting to rewatch it ever since
Instantaneous communication, no less. That's impressive!
Quantum entanglement.
They talked like they were just right next door.
Ender and Jane loaned them an Ansible.
Subspace
Artificial gravity
Even back in '95 Richard Schiff was a great actor and Judge Reinhold was still a goober
Only Mr. Schiff could make a conspiracy nut sound like he is making a genuinely compelling case.
Bwahahahahahahahaha
Judge looks and sounds stoned or is he a robot?
thank you very much for putting this movie on RUclips
I was expecting a tattered victorian era union jack on the rocks for a second....
I think the film director was a tattered mixed up double vodka on the rocks after this
It's that a drink??
Should be
Is that what the British crew said 1 second after stepping foot in the joint
And it would be probable that the crew on Destiny would've been 104-169 Years too late (depends on the year they landed)
...or a mouse trap
Thanks for uploading this. I think it aired only once, in early 1996. Pretty good movie with a freaky ending, and it beat watching the Oscars that night.
2005 and no smartphones but a trip to Mars. Close.
Judge Reinhold is killing this. Do over-affected newscasters know he is trolling them so exactly?
To the person who has post this my congratulations it's a peace of history. Even though a b movie or tv movie as you wish it's a masterpiece of the genre at that epoque. Thank you for sharing
Thanks! It stayed in my memory since I saw it, so it is my pleasure to make it available for others to enjoy (or not enjoy, as it seems)!
Funny enough, it was sourced from a PAL VHS in the UK! I recall spending a bit of money to get it transferred to digital.
I just wonder if any of the cast or crew have watched it now that it is here!
❤❤❤❤ to fair to late actor dean jones he later semi retired due to ill health I’ve always loved the stuff he been in great actor and human being❤❤❤
That’s Keiko O’Brien as the doctor. You know, miles wife from STNG. Also dr crushers assistant in sickbay.
Right about Keiko O'Brien!
However, Dr. Crusher's assistant was Nurse Ogawa, played by Patti Yasutake.
My mistake bro. But she is keiko though lol. Interesting how they incorporated at least two actors for STNG. Like the reporter was Zefram Cochrane’s assistant as welll on first contact lol
She played Lily--and that was in 1997 for Star Trek: First Contact.
It is rather cool that not only do we get to have two Star Trek alumni in this movie, but a West Wing alumni as well with Richard Schiff. All good actors--just goes to show how critical good direction is!
@@Digital_Cheese The Asian doctor on board played O'Brien's wife. The female anchor played Lily in First Contact.
"Twenty oh five" I get that in the 90's people probably thought we'd pronounce the aughts like we did the 19's, but now in the future hearing that is really jarring. Not to knock the movie, they didn't know for sure obviously, it's just a funny detail.
It seems after we hit 2010, it just became easier to switch back to "twenty-ten". I never hear anyone say "two thousand and twenty" nowadays.
Where is the rest of it ?? The ending isn't what I expected.
They thought we would land on Mars in 2005. Close but not quite. We landed in Iraq instead.
😂
Bloody 1st gen satnavs..
I also wanted to go to Saturn and i ended up in Swindon
@Drew Taylor a T - V stu - di - o
The sur - fa - ce of - the - m - oon.
You are so right ! Cheers from Earth!
ahh I see the connection, Mars = roman god of war
The ending is actually interesting. If you pay attention, at the end they show the foot prints. You'll notice... there's no Destiny anymore. Which means someone or something took it. The ending is most likely indicating alien life.
I don't see any footprints.
No, it's literally just a bad ending.
I don’t get the ending?
OK, let's see if anyone else in the comments thought the ending sucks eggs,. Oh, I see--- EVERYONE! Up to that point tho, not bad.
I TOO,, **KNOW** the ending sucks "inner Ear" eggs !!??
and I'm not even 23 minutes in yet
I agree. Its certainly 'Up to the point'??!!!
Yes.. its that shit its toooooo good to turn off. So the points is....past the point of shyte movie no re-turn.
Erm??!!!..... 'who shall we get to play the "spoke" role?????!!! 'Uuùuuuuuummmmmmmmm I know.... a actor who looks and will dressed EXACTLY like Leonard Nimoy
Did they film this.. in between the B52's making the Love shack music video and James bond Moonraker and Dora the Explorer filming
Did someone start a rumour on board.. the more patronising and on LSD you seem to behave?!.. the faster you'll get to MARS...
It was my birthday 14/07/2005 36 years... time flies!...
Funny how the people in "future 2005" in this movie all call it "twenty-oh-five", which no one did in the real 2005
There were a few advertisers who attempted to use and/or popularize the "twenty-oh" from 2002 to 2009, but it certainly was not the common vernacular compared to saying "two-thousand-five" at that time.
The societal shift towards the "twenty" usage began around 2010. However, there are those who still continue to refer to the year using the "two-thousand" method even though it is more cumbersome to say as compared to "twenty".
Language is fascinating.
I don't know which is the greater accomplishment. Landing on Mars or the instant communication with the astronauts.
Its he faster than lightspeed speech technology that we'll have then, its called we'll know whats to be said because its in the crappy script
Can we bring back the cheesey 90s TV movies?!
I am glad we mutually decided that 2005 would be pronounced two thousand five rather than twenty o five. When she kept saying twenty-o-five, I kept thinking, ooooh when will that be happening?
Oh . I thought it meant.. like... 1 hour past the 24 hour clock in to the future .. as in its 25"o" clock .. dam I thought I was actually getting space travel science
20:05 is military time for civilian 8:05pm,....I'm the clock guy,....duh!
@@vittotav2890 Yes, that is correct. But if you watched this movie, they are not referencing a time of day when they say twenty-o-five, they are referencing a year.
The ending is a rip-off from astronaut Michael Collins on Apollo 11. As they were approaching the moon, Armstrong still didn't have a statement for when he first sets his foot on the surface. Collins volunteered, "When you first step on the moon, scream " Oh my God what is that???" then cut the mic.
Lol!
Is that real info?
@@Joaocruz30 Yes, it’s been recounted many times in documentaries and books about the Apollo program.
So they couldn’t be arsed writing an ending! It might as well have been a dream
Couldn't be arsed to write a beginning and middle
I have been looking all over for this.
I am glad I could help save it from obscurity for your enjoyment. Makes the whole effort worth it!
Gotta love the "CTU" ring from "24" .
The makers of this film should have checked a basic astronomy book. Owing to the speed of light, there is no "instant communication" between the Earth and Mars. The communication delay is between 3 and 22 minutes.
They are using Q Box FTL comms based on quantum entanglement 🍿
Oh Val, you're so smart & so right. The filmmakers should have put in 20 minutes of blank time between every communication sent. Would have made a much more riveting movie. In fact, forget the basic "astronomy" book, they should have consulted you. You apparently have deep understanding of story telling. Studied at Starbucks did you?
Mate.. the makers of this film.. didnt read a single book.. in their entire life.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
@@lesizmor9079 Les. Your absolutely
Correct
LES.. if Val sends reply.. we should receive it in about 56hours..
Hi Val .. love love love
There were a number of these "live" event shows back in the day. This one was really good. Alfre Woodard in an early role for her.
Is there a sequel to this?
She went on to work on Phoenix
are there any good ones or is it a case of a number too many?
She'd already done Star Trek!
@Nature amd Physics
Special Report: Journey to Mars was 1995.
Her role as Lilly in Star Trek: First Contact was 1996.
July 14th, 2005 was in reality an ordinary day, biggest stories were in the middle east like most of the other days that year.
Katrina
I remember me an my sister saw this when we were kids in the late 90s and there was a good few minutes where we thought this shit was a real broadcast
😂 like i said we were children 🤦♂️
So, it would seem another ship was already on the planet waiting to destroy Destiny and her crew. When will these huge companies learn to work together instead of playing war games. The weapon must have been some kind of powerful...
Remember watching when it originally aired, remember the ending, and I've always wondered what Sadavoy saw. Since I knew what the ending was, re-watching it for the first time to see if there was anything in the film that could have indicated what Sadavoy saw but nothing popped out. At 1:22:37, in the middle of the screen to the left center, you can make out what appears to look like a hand is on top of the rock formation and the arm is extending over the edge of the rock formation. If that's what Sadavoy saw to indicate humans have been to Mars somehow before, what explains the communications blackout of both Destiny and Sadavoy as soon as Sadavoy sees it?
I didn’t get the ending, I don’t know why she saw him. Why did it blackout?
Simulated gravity in 2005, 10 years after video production? That was ... optimistic ;D
We still have yet to find a graviton, much less even really understand what creates gravity 😆
@@Digital_Cheese Gravity is created by huge mass putting dents in space time.
@@JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate and in bad film plots, they go south real quick
Yes, I was referring to the still-elusive "graviton" or any other quantum particles that create mass they had hoped to find one day. Seems the more discoveries they make only brings more questions.
@WHITE POWER Define mystery. We assume the mechanics we just need concrete evidence. I would call something we know nothing about a mystery, not when we are pretty sure about something.
9 minutes of terror. That's landing on Mars.
I have been looking all over for this movie for years. I used to have it on VHS tape when it originally aired. Can this movie be purchased anywhere at all? I’m doubting it. Thanks for posting it here in the hopes that I can watch it for sometime to come. To my knowledge this movie only ever aired once, and I’ve never been able to find it again until now. Thanks again
Glad to bring it out of obscurity!
To my knowledge, this movie was never put onto home video in the US. However, the UK did release a PAL VHS version sometime in the 90s, maybe 97, which has long since gone out of print. Sometimes it can be found on eBay, but it is few and far between.
For a similar 'live as it happens' drama check out:
WITHOUT WARNING 1994.
It's even better - mysterious asteroids are seen heading to earth!!! Very gripping and realistic.
I really didn't like Without Warning (except the ending). The aliens were complete idiots. They send an overly-complicated message, part of it gets lost, they launch an attack on nations' capitols and then get upset when Earth defends itself.
Yeah, I guess you could argue the realism. Aliens make a mistake, aliens craft a message no one could understand. They misinterpret Earth's response.
Still, frustration level with that movie is pretty high.
Maybe just a few genius aliens invented the technology, and a bunch of smart aliens saw the potential for their species, and over time, even the dumbest of their alien species eventually had access to space travel.
Most of the human species has smartphones, and that is including those that have no real idea how they work or how difficult it was to create. Instead, many take them for granted, use them to be nasty trolls on social media applications, or other disreputable behavior. Just because advanced technology exists doesn't mean everyone will be mentally or emotionally advanced in its applications.
In summary, dumb-as-rocks space-faring aliens--totally possible.😆
@@Digital_Cheese clever aliens.. said to dumb aliens. Hay just all come inside this spa... erm... play bricks.. that's right.. all squeeze in now.. let's close the door
..
@@sarahwolf6754 blame thier substandard version on the autoincorrect feature
@@vittotav2890 Maybe they would have had more success if their message was just five musical notes.
I do recall even back in 1995 that NASA said on that manned flight to Mars be ready around between 2030 - 40.
You know it's bad when they have to go to commercials...
Ha 2005
Optimistic, considering how 2020 has fd things up
I saw this when it was originally broadcast, and I remember the ending differently.
In the original, the final scene is a distorted image of what the astronaut saw just before the signal cut off, and it was the silhouette of..."something". I remember screaming out, "Oh my gosh, it's a Martian!"
However, every subsequent time I've seen this movie, plus every time I've found it uploaded to RUclips, it's always been this ending here where you don't see anything.
So I don't know if I'm having a false memory, or if the ending was changed.
Sarah Wolf It is quite possible that the ending was changed for potential rebroadcast to make the ending less scary. You know can’t offend, can’t challenge, can’t scare etc... A sign of times to come?
There is a rock in the center that looks kind of like a head.
I remember the same ending, but I remember this movie from the Fall of 1994.
It also seems telling that the fx used while Sadavoy was walking around seem really hastily done, which lends credence to the idea that the ending was edited.
@@Eyetrauma I think that part was the same, but there is another image after that, which is from her point of view (her "camera"), and it is of the martian.
Just have no idea why they would cut that part out. It's kind of what made the ending so great! It's like re-editing Without Warning and cutting out the final image on the screen where thousands of meteor bombs are falling to destroy the Earth.
"Graduating at the top of his class at the naval academy" is this where are the "I graduated on at the top of the..." memes spawned from?
So optimistic... they had no idea. we may NEVER get to Mars...
I love how we can hear the radiation shields explosive bolts detonate in space. Brilliant.
I like the newsroom setup. I also like that they chose people more for acting ability than for looks.
... we've just encountered the Ice Warriors.
Yessssss...
Ever notice that all movies about landing on Mars turn into survival films.
So true. The reality is Mars is a very deadly and dangerous place to visit.
@@Digital_Cheese Yep. It's a sub-zero vacuum with cosmic rays. Keep the door closed and keep the heating on, and give me a drink. . . .What's to eat?
Cuando era niño vi estás dos especies de película basada en desastres reales como special bulletin y without warning ahora leyendo unos comentarios no sabía de la existencia de esta y otra muy interesante.. gracias por subirla y que no muera está clase de especiales.
When I was a child I saw these two types of film based on real disasters as a special bulletin and without warning, now reading some comments I did not know about the existence of this and another very interesting one ... thanks for uploading it and don't die this kind of special.
The ending ruined the entire movie! What a shame! Could have been a very fine film if the final thirty seconds were not so incredibly STUPID and UNIMAGINATIVE!
Agreed. Shockingly poor rise in tension with no fulfilment.
See my comment about the original ending being changed.
Entire film ruined
Entire film
OMG! Madame President has a grey streak in her hair like the bride of Frankenstein!
With all the screening that a crew bound for Mars would go through, the single most criteria for a “representative of the free press” must have been “ANNOYING”! Wait....so there’s no difference between the press of today and the future? ANNOYING!
To be fair, the press today is significantly worse and now ever-snarky. At least Judge Reinhold's annoying character tried to hold a pretense of "objectivity"--something absent in today's "news" media. 😁
Blocked By Copyright well, I still enjoyed the movie overall....so thank you for taking the time to upload it!
My pleasure! It is a pleasure to see this obscure film getting attention after all these years. Makes me wonder if any of the cast or crew that worked on this have seen it yet! 😆
The fella playing the newsroom anchor played Sinatra in the tv movie about him from three years earlier
I'll save you guys 2 hours of your lives. They cut the original ending out so that it didn't scare kids and could be rebroadcast. When she steps out onto Mars and looks at the rocks, the feed cuts but... Read more
Oh, harsh! But I actually I DO remember the original ending, and it was great! Not this watered down version.
@@sarahwolf6754 what happened at the end to her? What do you mean the original ending?
@@filmunion8194 It freeze frames on what appears to be the silhouette of a Martian approaching the woman astronaut.
Great to see again in 2022.
At 1:22:39, just above and to the right of VOY there definitely seems to be organic material, and could that be an arm leading from it pointing towards the centre of the screen ???
Alfre Woodard.. Still beautiful.
At first I thought Sadavoy had spotted a lithographed cock-n-balls on the rock outcrop. Too bad about the non-existent round-trip communications delay.
I keep looking and see nothing? what did she see?
She obviously saw a Starbucks at the end
"Before I went to Mars, I took the Seinfelds to the Museum of Modern Art. They bought me a coke!"
Oh shit, Toby Zeigler really went radical after the Bartlett administration
Born to be a badass
Yes .. yes yes.. it's TRUE...
The missing *bit* really really really does make the film better..
At 2 minutes in I zipped straight to 1hour 24 minutes.. and yes the missing *bit* makes it a fantastic movie.. then the end makes it shyte again really
Steps on Mars surface..turns around.. and theres Matt Damon.. waving and calling "hiha knaighbour" from his green house....
'Oh my god nnNnnnnNNNOOOOOOOOOO'
3:53 Resident Evil pickup sound effect
The British-English accent of the officer Susan is so ridiculous
Who got this in their recommendations on July 14, 2021?
At 1:22:37 and1:22:38, Left center of the screen is an alien arm, fingers splayed out. In the next frame, you can see Sadavoy looking right at it. The rest of the area looks like a ruin of a past building of some sort. The stones are eroded, but you can see evidence of what used to be flat faces of stone.
If you look at the landscape in the background, you can see that it is not regular Martian rocks. They are covered with a jumble of interconnected metallic-looking fragments. Sadavoy-POV shows her looking at it, then to the left side, then doing a double-take before her camera is shut down. Most likely why she is making the exclamation is because she now sees this alien-looking architecture.
It is actually quite easy to see and not an optical illusion. The producers never imagined anyone nearly 30 years later would even be taking the time to notice! 😅
Perfect quote to describe the concept of colonizing Mars: "it fuels the arrogance of our leaders".
Ok, I’ll tell everyone what the original ending was supposed to be.
When she’s looking at the rocks she see’s a
A what?
@@JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate An extra apostrophe.
"a" what's so shocking about coming across an "a" .. one of the first things kids are taught.. it's the first thing you see at the beginning of the alphabet???!!!!
Some people jump at there own shadows!!
A McDonalds and a Wal-Mart. Why? Because they’re everywhere! Lol!
When people point out this/,that wouldn't happen in space for real.. I think... if you dont shut up .. you find out what works or not in space in a minute
Ah, 2005. I remember that year. Shit was wild.
Cant believe you all missed it. A whole group of small beings was looking at her. She realized all the moving small things were the aliens winking their eyes as they looked at her. Truly terrorizing
At what point do we get a good look at them?
Definitely not. There literally isn't anything there. It's just a bad ending.
@datrevmeister....You must have a vivid imagination. All I saw were some rocks that had some small holes in them, like water erosion will do to the more soluble minerals on top of the rock. Yes, something happened but we were given no clues at all.
Here for Richard Schiff
When I first saw this, I thought the group against the space travel
made it there first, and planted a bomb that took everybody out.
Actually at the end she saw the Aliens had already been to Mars and the equipments of Aliens scatterd around
Been
Seen
Done it
Yerrr planet Gguurrzzzz boyz tour 1256
I do not see what others see as the ending. The shadow is her shadow. I see no life forms, no evidence of buildings. No nothing.
so is there going to be a round 2?
I hate these large productions that try too hard -- this is one of them. I read the comments and I don't care how many people say it is good for they seem to have their taste in their mouth. I am an ardent movie watcher and I can small shit from 100 miles away. With this movie the odor reached me from a 1000 miles. I will not waste any more time watching, just long enough to finish my negative comment.
Ohhhhh Mama 🍼
_"I can small shit from 100 miles away"_ - That's quite a feat.
Considering this aired live on CBS, this special was done "From Television City in Hollywood."
Very good film and the effects are well done, especially for a tv movie. Excellent script, but they should have canned that bad ending.
Other worthy mockumentaries from the 80s/90s - "Special Bulletin," "Without Warning," both on YT. There's an excellent supernatural one called GHOSTWATCH, but could not find it on YT.
Agreed, “Special Bulletin” and “Without Warning” are fantastic, check out “Countdown to Looking Glass”, same concept, but the disaster is nuclear war with the Soviets: ruclips.net/video/yDwD4ns2gWA/видео.html
Countdown to Looking Glass is another good one. Also, "Alternative 3" is an interesting British
mockumentary on yt
SOON
you got to freeze frame the the ending at 1:22:34 or so and you can see somewhat of a city at the top of the screen.
For those of you checking the comments first, it's good.
Real guuud
1:15:45 Landing Destiny is the equivalent of landing a four story building...
Elon Musk: Pathetic...
What was the rover doing in the end? Did they lose contact with that too? It should have been taking pictures.
I thought for sure they were gonna pull a Chekov's Gun and either that the GNN satellite that trailed them would come into play or, at the very least, they'd use it to get an image of the surface. What a weird, unfulfilling ending.
Like a dog feels when it goes to leave a gud snaffle on his balls... only to discover it ant got none
I didnt know what I was doing by the end??
You wouldn’t be able to have a real time conversation at those distances. Serious schoolboy error.
True. It was the first typical Hollywood science error I noticed straight away after watching again after nearly two decades.
Maybe they had already invented subspace communication and forgot to mention it in the movie haha
Lighten up Sarah. It's for entertainment purposes. Or would you rather have 18 minute pauses in the conversation?
Noosic Ha ha, yes i know i’m just being pedantic.
Yes you can....
I've still got a good connection with them on my bluetooth speaker from bristol..
Any other things that dont match...
Just know that I had them pop the space rocket over to my garden shed where I Ironed out every single space science problems.. and raise the seat for them.before they left...
'But we do have a problem'?
'We've got a stoned asssshoooole on board'!?
'ME' ??!
he's just munched down on the entire journeys ashcake supply. Just floating around the ship... 'hhiìiiiiiiiiii Wendy whaatss that??
'Erm...????!!! It's a chair!! You stonehaed..
'Okaaaaayyyy kooooool. Grooovèyyýyyy

Is there part 2?
What?? We were supposed to be on Mars in 2005? I'm still waiting on my flying Delorean. LOL Ok Movie, too bad they changed the ending.
Sweet movie. So the Lt. Found unfriendly aliens, I guess! What a way to end a movie! No to be continued either?! Dave Dave Dave, let's sing a song, Dave! Hal open the cargo bay door Hal! Sorry Dave I can not do that by Dave!? Dam you Hal!
They got halfway through the movie and decided it was crap so they ended it.
They got 3 minutes into the film and knew it was crap.. and carried on
Great movie!
Every rock on Mars has to look like a human face , or a rectangular black slab.
Stimulated Invasion of Mars Just Like Earth,Depleat Mars Resources,
1:10:11 - Whoa. HOLD EVERYTHING! Right hand side of the image! Did that guy play in the Herbie series?
Update: That was him! (Wikipedia)
The ending doesn't seem like an ending - more like we're just cut off right in the middle. Disappointing.
I like this movie well done
Why is Reinhold whispering, it's jot golf?
Disappointing ending. What did she see to say Oh my god? we saw what she saw and I saw nothing.
Forgot to cancel Netflix.
