War of the Worlds

War of the Worlds (2025) is a science fiction thriller that reimagines H.G. Wells’ classic story for the digital age. Set in a disturbingly realistic present, the film follows Will Radford, a top cybersecurity analyst working for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. His job: track potential threats through a powerful mass surveillance program. But everything changes when a devastating cyberattack, seemingly launched by an unknown entity, brings the system to its knees.

As Radford investigates deeper, he uncovers alarming inconsistencies that suggest a global cover-up. Is the government hiding the truth about an extraterrestrial threat? And what role does the surveillance program itself play in this unprecedented crisis? War of the Worlds (2025) blends technological tension with political paranoia in a gripping, fast-paced narrative.

Directed by Rich Lee and based on the novel by H.G. Wells, this fresh adaptation offers a modern and chilling take on alien invasion. The screenplay by Marc Hyman explores psychological dimensions of fear, control, and distrust, adding layers of depth to the story.
