    Synopsis:
    H.G. Wells` chilling novel of a Martian invasion of Earth becomes even more frightening in this 1952 film adaptation that`s widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.

    An Oscar winner for Best Special Effects, The War Of The Worlds delivers eye-popping thrills, laser-hot action and unrelenting, edge-of-your-seat suspense. No one who has seen the film`s depiction of the swan-shaped Martian machines - ticking and hissing menacingly as they cut their path of destruction - will ever forget their ominous impact!
