War Of The Worlds, The (1953)
Paramount

Sleeve Sypnosis:
H.G. Wells' chilling novel of the invasion of the Earth by Martians and his observations dealing with panic and destruction become even more frightening when translated to the cinema. Wells' original story was updated to include the atom bomb; the science-fiction classic won an Oscar for it's special effects. No-one who has seen the depiction of the Martian machines-swan shaped, ticking and hissing menacingly as they slide along leaving a wake of destruction-can forget their ominous impact.
