A mysterious, meteorlike object has landed in a small California town. All clocks have stopped. A fleet of glowing green UFOs hovers menacingly over the entire globe. The Martian invasion of Earth has begun, and it seems that nothing—neither military might nor the scientific know-how of nuclear physicist Dr. Clayton Forrester (Gene Barry)—can stop it. H.G. Wells' chilling novel of a Martian invasion of Earth becomes even more frightening in this 1953 film adaptation that's widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time. (USA, 1953, 85 mins, G, English | Dir. Byron Haskin)
