Movies and TvShows featuring "mars-space-probe" theme.

In the near future, the unmanned Pilgrim 7 space probe returns from Mars with soil samples potentially containing evidence of extraterrestrial life. The International Space Station intercepts the probe and retrieves the samples. A dormant cell from the sample grows into a multi-celled organism named Calvin. As the crew studies Calvin, it escapes its enclosure, devours a lab rat, and grows in size. Calvin attacks and kills the crew members, leading to a plan to vent the atmosphere and trap Calvin. The survivors lure Calvin into an escape pod and manually pilot it into deep space. However, North's pod is hit by debris, while Jordan is attacked by Calvin. North's pod flies into deep space, while Jordan's pod is opened by Vietnamese fishermen.
