The 2000 Warner Brothers film Red Planet featured a Russian sample-and-return spacecraft as an integral plot device. Although improbable that such an automated probe would have a built-in diagnostic terminal as pictured below, the user interface has some interesting design elements:
- Animation, including emotive displays reflecting diagnostic outcomes
- Graphical interactive schematics, including color-coded subsystems under test
- A helpful anthromorphized avatar (of sorts)
- Sychronized voice and visual annunciations
