Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... a man on the moon, literally. Sam is the sole human operator of the Sarang, a lunar facility designed for mining alternative energy on the moon. His only companion is his friendly computer system named GERTY, who is a decent partner but not really human. So Sam continues to feel stranger and stranger as he spends more time alone.
Personality… inquisitive, snarky, and clever. Sam plays around with GERTY as much as he can, partly to keep his sanity intact. Whenever Sam discovers anything out of the ordinary he investigates until he gets to the bottom of the situation, even when things turn out to be much more complicated than they appear.
Get to Know him in...
-
With only three weeks left in his three year contract, Sam Bell is getting anxious to finally return to Earth. He is the only occupant of a Moon-based manufacturing facility along with his computer and assistant, GERTY. The long period of time alone however has resulted in him talking to himself for the most part, or to his plants. Direct communication with Earth is not possible due to a long-standing communication malfunction but he does get an occasional message from his wife Tess. When he has an accident however, he wakens to find that he is not alone. He also comes to realize that his world is not what he thought it was.
