Unlike previous adaptations set in Victorian England or modern-day America, War of the Worlds: The Attack focuses on a group of astrophysics students in the United Kingdom. They discover a signal originating from Mars. Skepticism turns to horror when massive heat-ray equipped tripods emerge from the ground, incinerating cities. The film follows their desperate fight for survival against an enemy that views humanity as nothing more than a resource to be harvested.
The story follows three young amateur astronomy students—, Hannah , and Ogilvy —as they track what appears to be a meteorite crashing into Horsell Common in Woking.
