In Retrospect – Spielberg, Robots, & Aliens

In anticipation of the upcoming release of Steven Speilberg's Disclosure Day we are looking back at some of his greatest science fiction films throughout the years.

As Earth is invaded by alien tripod fighting machines, one family fights for survival.

Steven Spielberg's reimagining of War of the Worlds is a dramatic science fiction thriller that reveals the extraordinary battle for the future of humankind through the eyes of one American family fighting to survive it. As with Spielberg's other post-millennium science fiction thriller Minority Report, War of the Worlds sees the filmmaker reflecting on a post-9/11 world through the lens of genre to tell a story for its time.
