The War of the Worlds (also known in promotional material as H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds) is a 1953 American
science fiction film from Paramount Pictures, produced by George Pal, directed by Byron Haskin. Earth is suddenly and unexpectedly invaded by Martians, and American scientist Clayton Forrester searches for any weakness that can stop them.
 
Scientist Clayton Forrester (Gene Barry) and Sylvia Van Buren (Ann Robinson) are the first to arrive at the site of a meteorite crash. Soon after, an alien war machine emerges and begins killing at random. The Marines are called in, but they're no match for the aliens' force field. Forrester and Van Buren, however, are able to wound one of the creatures and procure a sample of its blood. They take it to Los Angeles where they hope, through testing, to be able to discover the aliens' weakness.
 
A very good used DVD movie in a case with mild wear.
