Total Recall

The alien machine is activated by Quaid (Arnold Schwarnegger), creating a permanent breathable atmosphere on Mars

...it is also possible that the entire adventure is part of Quaid's Rekall experience (a technician is programming a "blue sky on Mars" as Quaid is being strapped into the Rekall machine).
