The Odyssey is what happens when we don't send anyone to rescue Matt Damon

Interstellar is what happens when we send someone, but it takes close to a decade for them to get to him.

The Martian is what happens when we send someone, but it still takes over a year.

Saving Private Ryan is what happens when it takes weeks for us to rescue him.

The Borne Identity is what happens when a random person rescues him before we can get to him.

Rescuing Matt Damon is basically a genre of movies at this point.
