警官约翰·荷伯斯（丹泽尔·华盛顿 Denzel Washington 饰）新近逮捕了一名杀人犯里斯，此人除了在电刑前说了几句奇怪的语言跟留下了一则暗语，并无特别之处。然而荷伯斯很快发现里斯的暗语指向一名三十年前自杀的警察罗伯·米拉诺。与此同时，几起连锁杀人案接连发生，凶手的手段如出一辙，更令人惊异的是每次的受害者即是上一桩凶案的嫌凶。荷伯斯拜访了罗伯之女格瑞坦，对方劝诫荷伯斯放弃调查。里斯的留言终被破译，原来他用叙利亚的古语言向荷伯斯发出威胁，而荷伯斯的坚持有了进一步的收获，他发现罗伯与近期几宗凶案的死者可能皆出自名为“阿萨索”的恶灵之手，阿萨索可以随意依附人体作恶，荷伯斯的缉凶之路因此而困难重重。这场人与恶灵之战，究竟如何收场？
This short animated piece captures the very spirit of film making...it is all real in the end. A young boy, after watching a serial about adventures to Mars decides he wants to go to Mars. The boy's grandfather, equipped with a special '56 Ford F-100 tow truck takes the boy to Mars. The boy returns to his home knowing he had been to Mars. Others doubt his story. Story telling is meant to inspirational (I don't mean the pallid goody-two-shoes sort of inspiration, rather inspiration -synonymous with moving, or activating). At its heart Viaje a Marte confirms that while the cold hard facts of our lives may be debatable, the ability to find a spirit to our dreams is what makes a life. Being animation this "story" is told through the narrative of the film, but as well through the brilliantly characterized faces (including the "face" of the F-100). See it if you can.
