The War of the Worlds
Directed by Byron Haskin
Dr. Clayton Forrester came to the California hills for a quiet fishing weekend; he will not get it. The burning object that lands nearby is no meteor but the first craft in a Martian fleet, and soon war machines rise on shimmering legs, sweeping heat rays across farmland and highway. With Sylvia van Buren beside him, Forrester races to find a weakness while the armies spend everything they have, up to the atomic bomb, and whole cities empty out. Technicolor destruction on a continental scale.
