01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

In southern California, Doctor Clayton Forrester a well-known atomic scientist, is fishing with colleagues when a large object crashes near the town of Linda Rosa, California. At the impact site, he meets Sylvia Van Buren and her uncle, Pastor Matthew Collins. Later that night, a round hatch unscrews and opens; a Martian weapon kills the three men standing guard at the site, simultaneously shutting down all technology in the town with an electromagnetic pulse. The United States Marine Corps surround the crash site as reports pour in of identical objects landing all over the world and destroying cities. Pastor Collins attempts to make peace with the Martians, but is disintegrated. The Martian Tripod effortlessly defeat the military with both a "Heat-Ray" and "skeleton beam".
