Back of the Box:
H.G. Wells' chilling novel of a Martian
invasion of Earth besomnes even more frightening in this 1952 film adaptation
that's widely regarded as one fo the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.
An Oscar winner for Best Special Effects, The War of the Worlds
delivers eye-popping thrills, laser-hot action and unrelenting, edge-of-your-seat
suspense. No one who has seen the film's depiction of the swan-shaped Martian
machines - ticking and hissing menacingly as they cut their path of destruction
- will ever forget their ominous impact!
Notes: This movie is based on the H.G. Wells' story that
was a radio drama before it was a movie. The radio adaptation caused wide
range panic and sent many people fleeing for their lives because they thought
there was an actual invasion occuring. This movie won an Academy Award
for Best Special Effects.
