The War of the Worlds (also sometimes known as H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds) is a 1953 science fiction film starring Gene Barry and Ann Robinson. It was the first on screen depiction of the H. G. Wells classic novel of the same name. Produced by George Pál and directed by Byron Haskin from a script by Barré Lyndon, it was the first of several adaptations of Wells' work to be filmed by Pál, and is considered to be one of the great science fiction films of the 1950s. It won an Oscar for its special effects.

War of the Worlds is a 2005 science fiction disaster film based on H. G. Wells' original novel starring Dakota Fanning and Tom Cruise. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Josh Friedman and David Koepp. It was released on June 29, 2005.

It is one of four film adaptations of the novel, preceded by two straight-to-video versions released in the same year and the original 1953 film version.

H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds (also going by the title of Invasion and H.G. Wells' The Worlds in War ) is one of three film adaptations of The War of the Worlds novel released in 2005. Much like Spielberg's version, it is a modernized adaptation, but was released by the production company "The Asylum" and whose budget may be more on par with the Pendragon version. No theatrical release date had been planned; instead the film was a direct-to-DVD release. All three were released June of the same year.

The story tells of a man who is separated from his wife and child when a Martian invasion begins. He tries to make his way to Washington, D.C. to reunite with them as the world is torn apart.

The DVD was released on June 28, one day before Spielberg's film, and has a few notable stars including C. Thomas Howell, Peter Greene, and Jake Busey.

The alternate title of Invasion is likely for the film's overseas distribution since Paramount owns exclusive rights to the War of the Worlds title in the European Union.

H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds is one of three film adaptations of H. G. Wells' classic novel released in 2005. This version was produced by the independent film production company Pendragon Pictures and is distinguishable from the other film adaptations of the novel in that it is not a contemporary retelling, but rather set in the book's original time period and location. It is also the first film adaptation to be set in the United Kingdom as opposed to the more popular setting of the United States.
