Synopsis The Original Invasion! Laden with Academy Award winning special effects, this chilling adaptation of H.G. Wells' frightening novel detailing a Martian invasion delivers fiery thrills, laser-hot action and unrelenting, edge-of-your-seat suspense. Gene Barry (TV's Bat Masterson) and Ann Robinson (TV's Fury) are among the humans intrigued when a meteor-like object crashes to Earth...but its occupants are definitely not friendly. The assault on Earth is underway, and the Martian machines-hovering "swan"-shaped vehicles of destruction-are both beautiful and terrifying as they cut a relentless path of annihilation. Produced by George Pal (When Worlds Collide) and directed by Byron Haskin (Treasure Island), The War Of The Worlds is widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time and received three Oscar nominations.

Customer Review A Great Example of 50's Sci-Fi Films - 4.75 out of 5  (6/19/2006) It's 1953 and the Earth is being attacked by aliens from Mars! That, in a nutshell, is the plot for The War Of The Worlds, one of the most popular and enduring Science Fiction classics to come out of Hollywood in the Golden Age of Sci-Fi (The 1950's). The 53 years that have passed since this film was made have not dulled the impact or enjoyment of this film. The acting by the entire cast, including Gene Barry as Clay Forrester, Anne Robinson as Sylvia Van Buren, Lewis Martin as Pastor D   more >> Customer Review Worth the wait! - 4.25 out of 5  (11/8/2005) If you've been waiting for this like me, it's well worth the wait! Recently discovered stereo audio tracks have been added and the film quality is excellent. I can't believe how great it looks and sounds! Although Gene Barry doesn't quite seem to remember making this film at all, Ann Robinson fills the commentary with interesting facts.   more >>
