Скачать или смотреть THE WAR OF THE WORLDS - PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE

The War of the Worlds (also known in promotional material as H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds) is a 1953 American science fiction thriller film directed by Byron Haskin, produced by George Pal, and starring Gene Barry and Ann Robinson.

It is the first of several feature film adaptations of H. G. Wells' 1898 novel of the same name. The setting is changed from Victorian era England to 1953 Southern California. Earth is suddenly invaded by Martians, and American scientist Doctor Clayton Forrester searches for any weakness to stop them. The U.S. government thus authorizes use of the atom bomb. However, it proves ineffective, and the aliens continue their advances. Just as the invaders attack near a church, their machines lose power and crash. As Forrester sees one of the aliens die, he reflects, "We were all praying for a miracle." He and other survivors look heavenward. An off-screen narrator explains that the aliens had "no resistance to the bacteria in our atmosphere to which we have long since become immune and which God in His wisdom had put upon this earth."
