Red Planet is a 2000 science fiction action film directed by Antony Hoffman. The film stars Val Kilmer, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Tom Sizemore. The plot follows a team of astronauts who search for solutions to save a dying Earth by searching on Mars, only to have the mission go terribly awry.

Red Planet was released in the United States on 10 November 2000. The film was a critical failure and a box-office bomb, only grossing $33.5 million against the budget of $80 million and is Hoffman's only feature film to date. Red Planet was one of two films released in 2000 that depicted an expedition to Mars; the other was Mission to Mars, which was released eight months earlier.
