there is enough fuel to power the rocket's engine but not enough electrical power to launch the probe, and realizes that AMEE's power core is the only available replacement. Gallagher is able to lure AMEE into a trap and disable her using one of the probe's sample launchers in a final confrontation, then steal her battery. Gallagher launches himself in the probe's sample-return capsule and travels to orbit, where he is recovered and revived by Bowman. With a six-month return trip to Earth, the computer has plenty of time to analyze the insects, and Bowman and Gallagher have enough time to start dating. Cast Val Kilmer as Robby Gallagher, Engineer Carrie-Anne Moss as Lieutenant Commander Kate Bowman, Mission Commander Tom Sizemore as Dr. Quinn Burchenal, Geneticist Benjamin Bratt as Lieutenant Ted Santen, Pilot Simon Baker as Dr. Chip Pettengill, Terraforming Specialist Terence Stamp as Dr. Bud Chantilas, Chief Science Officer Neil Ross as Space Suit (voice) (uncredited) Bob Neill as Houston (voice) Production The production of the film (which was filmed in Wadi Rum in Southern Jordan and in Outback Australia) was the subject of numerous reports about the bad working relationship between co-stars Tom Sizemore and Val Kilmer. Kilmer's reputation for being "difficult" was already well-established, and although the two stars had been friends, they fell out after Kilmer reportedly became enraged when he discovered that production had paid for Sizemore's exercise machine to be shipped to the set. Kilmer shouted, "I’m making ten million on this; you’re only making two", to which Sizemore responded by throwing a weight at Kilmer. The two were soon refusing to speak to each other or even come onto the set if the other was present, necessitating the use of body doubles to shoot scenes involving both actors, and their relationship became so bad that one of the producers is said to have asked Sizemore not to hit Kilmer in the face when the big fight finally happened – in the event, Sizemore purposely punched Kilmer in the chest. Sizemore has since described the film as one of his career regrets, but also stated that he and Kilmer have since reconciled. Release Box office Red Planet opened at No. 5 at the North American box office making $8.7 million USD in its opening weekend. The film was a box-office bomb, grossing $33 million worldwide against an estimated budget of $80 million. Critical response
