War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds (2025): An invasion watched through surveillance screens
A closer look at the story
H. G. Wells's landmark science-fiction novel is reimagined here through today's technology, surveillance systems and concerns about privacy. Will Radford is one of Homeland Security's top analysts. His job is to track potential threats to the country through a mass surveillance programme. From behind his screens, he watches millions of lives, trying to sense danger before it strikes. Then one day an unknown force launches a massive attack. As the invasion spreads, Will starts to wonder whether the authorities are keeping secrets from him and from everyone else on the planet. Directed by Rich Lee, this 91-minute 2025 science-fiction thriller stars Ice Cube, Eva Longoria and Clark Gregg.
