When an army of invading Martians lands in England; panic and terror seize the population. As the aliens traverse the country in huge three-legged machines; incinerating all in their path with a heat ray and spreading noxious toxic gases; the people of the Earth must come to terms with the prospect of the end of human civilization and the beginning of Martian rule.
Inspiring films; radio dramas; comic-book adaptations; television series and sequels; The War of the Worlds is a prototypical work of science fiction which has influenced every alien story that has come since; and is unsurpassed in its ability to thrill; well over a century since it was first published.
