Plot Outline: This film is an adaptation of the plotline from the id Software and Activision video game Doom 3.

Something terrible has happened at Odluval station, a remote scientific research station on Mars. It's now under level 5 quarantine and only the Rapid Response Tactical Squad, hardened Space Marines, are allowed in or out.

The research being done at the station has unwittingly opened a door and all hell has broken loose. A legion of nightmarish creatures hunt what few people remain.

Sarge (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), Reaper (Karl Urban) and their team must use every weapon at their disposal to stop these creatures from ever reaching Earth.
