Summary
A divorced New Jersey dockworker is thrust into a desperate fight for survival when towering alien tripods erupt from beneath the earth and begin annihilating humanity. Trying to reunite his young daughter with her mother in Boston, he flees across a collapsing American landscape as the machines harvest people and lay waste to cities. Steven Spielberg's adaptation of H.G. Wells reframes the invasion as a ground-level family ordeal.
