If you loved The Martian, try The Last Duel

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Last Duel has roughly 5.5× fewer votes than The Martian — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Ridley Scott, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Martian, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Last Duel is

France, 1386. Winter. Distant church bell. A knight accuses a former friend of violating his wife. Trial by combat looms, ordained by a callow king. Scott's late-period history plays often hinge on grim spectacle.
