| Review Summary |
Based on the classic science fiction novel by H.G. Welles, at the end of the 19th century a large cylinder has fallen in the English countryside. A young writer (Anthony Piana) is among those who witnesses the event. But soon the cylinder opens and a group of Martians appear.
It soon becomes apparent the Martians intend to attack. The writer soons finds himself fighting for his own survival as the military fights to stop the Martians, as society collapses, and as the human race fights to win the war of the worlds.
