Film Description

The action is shifted from Victorian London to 1950s California in this film version of H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi novel, The War of the Worlds. When Martians try to invade the USA they strike terror into the hearts of the people with their sleek, stylish spaceships and fearful death rays; the military do their best, but their cannons and fighters planes appear useless against such a formidable foe. Is this really the end?

With state-of-the-art special effects for their time, the alien ships glide coolly through the city annihilating everything in their path and giving the extermination a sense of foreboding far greater than the average B-movie.
