Mars unusual three-D map accompanying film (3,3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the red planet

'mars' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'unusual three-d map accompanying film' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'map' becomes 'plan' (I've seen this before**).
'accompanying' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'film' becomes 'et'.
'three' with letters rearranged gives 'there'.
'there'+'d'+'plan'+'et'='THE RED PLANET'

(Other definitions for the red planet that I've seen before include "Mars" , "out-of-this-world destination" , "One of our neighbours" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
