H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds

David Michael Latt directs this modern retelling — with a few new twists — of H.G. Wells’s classic science-fiction novel chronicling the brutal destruction of human civilization after aliens from Mars invade Earth. As thousands of innocent human beings flee the army of deadly alien “walkers” combing the globe, one man (C. Thomas Howell) adopts an against-the-odds mission to find a powerful weapon and save the planet.
