《火星时代》第二季震撼回归,真实的纪录片加上虚构的剧情,史诗般的规模,并由奥斯卡奖获奖制片人罗恩霍华德和布莱恩再次掌舵,故事将从宇航员离开地球,前往火星定居的9年后说起。自从登陆火星以来,六位最初的宇航员已经把奥林匹斯镇发展成一个成熟的殖民地。但就在这时,原本由多个政府资助的宇航局IMSF已无力为火星探索计划提供全部资金,于是机会向私营领域开放。鲁克鲁姆是一家以盈利为目的的公司,一旦这家公司的矿工到达火星,这个航天任务以及火星的未来将被永远改变。于是,科学与私利之间有趣较量开始了。With a common water source, IMSF and Lukrum establish a tenuous coexistence that threatens to dissolve when Kurt and his crew make unexpected headway in their mining mission. Commander Hana Seung maintains diplomacy between the two camps until tragedy strikes. In present day on Earth, Greenpeace activists protest Arctic oil drilling, examining the effectiveness of such tactics.
