About War of the Worlds
War of the Worlds adapts Wells' Martian invasion in separate versions. The 1953 Pal film and the 1988 series continue that continuity. The 2005 Spielberg film restarts it, and two 2019 series (the BBC Edwardian version and the Fox present-day version) each run three seasons.
The versions do not connect, so release order is the default tour. Pick any starting point.
Good to know
The 1938 radio broadcast is audio drama, not part of this screen list.
