The Martian
The scene where Mark became emotional upon hearing Commander Lewis’ voice was genuine; Matt Damon was still on set after all the other actors had gone home, and their pre-recorded voices were being played to Damon through his helmet. When Damon dwelled on the realization that his character had been all alone on Mars for two years, he began to tear up. Director Ridley Scott was so impressed with the performance that he only did one take of the scene.
