The War of the Worlds (1953)





Starring Gene Barry, Jack Kruschen, Carolyn Jones, Ned Glass, Russ Conway, and Les Tremayne. Directed by Byron Haskin. A meteor-like object has crash-landed near a small Southern California town. Among the crowd of curious onlookers is a scientist who determines the object is too hot to approach at present. Three townspeople are left alone to guard the object. When they decide to approach the meteorite, they are evaporated. It turns out that this is no meteorite but an invading spaceship from the planet Mars and the Martians onboard plan to pursue helpless earthlings with their flying saucer equipped with heat rays.
