The War of the Worlds

Without warning, strange cylinders fall from the sky, and from them emerge the Martians—towering, tentacled beings armed with heat-rays and unstoppable machines of war. As panic spreads and the British countryside burns, one man embarks on a harrowing journey through a crumbling world to find his way back to his wife—and to make sense of the unimaginable.

A pioneering tale of alien invasion and human vulnerability, The War of the Worlds is H.G. Wells’s prophetic vision of technological terror and survival against cosmic odds. More than a century after its release, it remains a chilling reflection on power, resilience, and what it means to face the unknown.

First published in 1898 this is a classic you can't miss.
