Amazon Prime VideoWill Radford is a top analyst for Homeland Security who tracks potential threats through a mass surveillance program, until one day an attack by an unknown entity leads him to question whether the government is hiding something from him... and from the rest of the world.
War of the Worlds is a 2025 American screenlife science fiction film based on the 1898 novel by H. G. Wells.When large machines emerge from the meteorites and start attacking humans, Will and his friend Sandra from NASA conclude it is an alien invasion. Will helps Dave and Faith evade the machines before being called to a meeting with DHS Director Donald Briggs, U.S. Secretary of Defense Walter Crystal, and the United States president. When the president authorizes a military response, other governments do likewise.
The style of film has been done before to some success: both Searching and Missing utilized the “desktop recording” medium to great effect; War of the Worlds does not. Instead, it merely makes the action feel distant. It’s paired with over-the-top commentary reactions from Ice Cube as he witnesses the events.
