War of the Worlds

War of the Worlds (2025) reimagines H.G. Wells' classic tale through the lens of contemporary surveillance paranoia. Will Radford, a Homeland Security analyst, navigates a labyrinth of classified data, only to have his world upended by an extraterrestrial assault that exposes the limits of his watchful state. As the invasion reveals more than it conceals, Radford’s quest for truth becomes a microcosm of a society grappling with the dualities of security and secrecy, technology and terror.
