The War of the Worlds
(The War of the Worlds)
Synopsis
One evening, residents of Linda Rosa, a small city in California, are the witnesses to the fall of a meteorite. The astronomer Clayton Forrester arrives at the scene of the landing. Later in the night, the meteorite moves. A hatch opens and an articulated arm comes out. Very soon, the population understands that the object is not a meteorite, but a spaceship arrived from Mars whose mission seems to be devoted to the destruction of residents of Earth...
