Can you explain a sentence stress? Quote from "Passengers" - "Why did you give up your life /ON/ Earth? " Why is the sentence stress on the preposition ON instead of the word EARTH?

I don't understand what you mean. Not all of us have seen the movie. Do you have a link to this exact scene? I'd like to know that you didn't hear the line wrong.
