About Life On Mars

LIFE ON MARS - Returning in 2010

NYPD Detective Sam Tyler (acclaimed Irish actor Jason O'Mara) finds himself in the cultural hotbed of New York City in 1973 - without a cell phone, computer, PDA or MP3 player - suddenly hurtled back in time when he's ripped from 2008 after being hit by a car whilst chasing a criminal.

Sound crazy? Well, it is - and so starts the premise of LIFE ON MARS - a modern success story from the past. Sam's trying mightily to understand what has just happened to him and how he can get back "home."

Forced to use a different moral code and without hi-tech crime fighting techniques, Sam clashes with his new boss at the 125th Precinct, the irascible Lieutenant Gene Hunt (played by Harvey Keitel), who would rather use his fists than his brain to solve a crime.
