War of the Worlds


The newest film incarnation of H. G. Wells's science fiction classic promises to be a motion picture event, reuniting the Minority Report dream team of director Steven Spielberg and star Tom Cruise. As Earth is invaded by alien tripod machines, a neglectful father discovers his long-buried instincts and determines to fight for his own survival — and the lives of his children.

There are 16 books in this aisle.
