Inhalt: |
A mysterious, meteorlike object has Ianded in a smaIl CaIifornia town. AIl clocks have stopped. A fIeet of gIowing green UFOs hovers menacingIy over the entire globe. The Martian invasion of Earth has begun, and it seems that nothing—neither miIitary might nor the scientific know-how of nuclear physicist Dr. CIayton Forrester (Gene Barry)—can stop it. ln the expert hands of genre specialists George PaI and Byron Haskin, H. G. WeIIs’s end-of-civilization cIassic receives a chiIIing Cold War–era update, compIete with halIucinatory Technicolor and visionary, Oscar-winning special effects. Emblazoned with iconographic images of 1950s science fiction, The War of the WorIds is both an infIuentiaI triumph of visual imagination and a still-disquieting document of the wonder and terror of the atomic age.
