The Martian

All of the scenes that were not shot on a green screen in Los Angeles were shot in a place called Wadi Rum, which is a world heritage site that’s located in Jordan. Adjust the lighting just a little bit, saturate the orange hues in the rocks in the surrounding area, and you’ve got a place that looks just like the surface of Mars. As cool and creative as this is, The Martian was not the first movie that came up with the idea of using Wadi Rum to depict Mars. Mission to Mars, Red Planet, and The Last Days on Mars all utilized this site.
