Ever noticed that a ton of Matt Damon movies center around having to rescue him?

Scientific researcher Kynan Eng published a post on Quora that advances the discussion on a very important topic: How much money has the fictional universe spent rescuing Matt Damon?

By his count, Damon has needed big-money rescues in eight movies, including "The Martian," "Interstellar," and "Saving Private Ryan."

The total cost of these is off the charts.
