Film: The War of the Worlds (1953), NR
Advertisement
Directed by Byron Haskin
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—can stop it. H. G. Wells’s end-of-civilization classic receives a chilling Cold War–era update, complete with hallucinatory Technicolor and visionary, Oscar-winning special effects.
DETAILS:
Film begin with an introduction by Brian R. Jacobson, Professor of Visual Culture at Caltech.
This program is free with admission. No reservations needed. Doors open 30 minutes prior to the screening.
