About Battle of the Worlds
A stray planet on a collision course with Earth instead takes orbit around our blue marble. What seems like a dead planet suddenly launches a fleet of flying saucers which attack our space fleets.
Directed by Antonio Margheriti, Battle of the Worlds leans on a strong ensemble — Claude Rains, Bill Carter, Maya Brent — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1961.
