Informazioni su questo film

Gene Barry (TV's Bat Masterson) and Ann Robinson (TV's Fury) are among the humans intrigued when a meteor-like object crashes to Earth ... but its occupants are definitely not friendly. The assault on Earth is underway, and the Martian machines -- hovering "swan"-shaped vehicles of destruction -- are both beautiful and terrifying as they cut a relentless path of annihilation.

Valutazioni e recensioni

This classic is just beautiful and mesmerizing. Delievers classic scares, destruction, and such a powerful adaptation. It goes a bit all over the place and should be set in England like the book since it was the first adaptation but overall it's a wonderful film. 4 and a half out of 5.

...the protagonist fails to emote fear or sadness of the invasion. Instead he comes off as enjoying the invasion & being an anarchist. Still better than Spielberg's version.

HGWelles nightmare of an invasion from Mars. As a child this movie gave me nightmares for weeks. After 60 years the fantastic holds up as a pinnacle of sci-fi. ( I STILL get the creeps when I see the machines!) :D
