'War of the Worlds' (2005) is the third part in Steven Spielberg's unofficial Alien Trilogy. In 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial' he was telling about benevolent aliens. But this time they aren't that friendly...
The story is based on the book by H.G.Wells. Which has been adapted into a radio broadcast by Orson Welles in 1938 and caused considerable panic, made into a movie by George Pal and Byron Haskins in 1953, in 1978 it was turned into a musical by Jeff Wayne and used for a series in the '80s. All in all it is a rich history for a story that was beyond its time considering it was written in 1898.
The movie stars Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Justin Chatwin, Tim Robbins, Miranda Otto and is narrated by Morgan Freeman. Ray Ferrier (Cruise) is a divorced father who rarely spends time with his son Robbie (Chatwin) and daughter Rachel (Fanning). When his kids come over to his home in New Jersey the Earth is invaded by beings from another world. In a second their lives have been destroyed. Ray must protect his children not only from the alien threat but also from the people around them.
This film has influenced me very much and still holds a special place for me. The novel had been a favourite from my youth. And seeing it on the big screen created by my favourite director was, as cheesy as it may sound, a dream come true. The film's harsh realism and rich metaphors make it in my opinion one of the best alien invasion movies in history.
This video is a tribute not only to the movie but also to the music which was composed and conducted by John Williams.

I think it's really cool that you're making it possible for us to hear the scores for these films without dialogue and other sound effects. This is such a terrific series. Keep up the good work.
