WAR OF THE WORLDS, Book One Chapter One: The Eve of the War:
" I might not have heard of the eruption at all had I not met Ogilvy, the well-known astronomer, at Ottershaw. He was immensely excited at the news, and in the excess of his feel- ings invited me up to take a turn with him that night in a scrutiny of the red planet."

"One night (the first missile then could scarcely have been 10,000,000 miles away) I went for a walk with my wife. It was starlight and I explained the Signs of the Zodiac to her, and pointed out Mars, a bright dot of light creeping zenithward, towards which so many telescopes were pointed. It was a warm night... It seemed so safe and tranquil."

"In another moment I had scrambled up the earthen ram- part and stood upon its crest, and the interior of the redoubt was below me. A mighty space it was, with gigantic machines here and there within it, huge mounds of material and strange shelter places. And scattered about it, some in their over- turned war-machines, some in the now rigid handling- machines, and a dozen of them stark and silent and laid in a row, were the Martians--DEAD!--slain by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unpre- pared; slain as the red weed was being slain; slain, after all man’s devices had failed, by the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth..."

Book One, Chapter Eleven: At The Window
"At the same moment the gun exploded behind him, the ammunition blew up, there was fire all about him, and he found himself lying under a heap of charred dead men and dead horses.
“I lay still,” he said, “scared out of my wits, with the fore quarter of a horse atop of me. We’d been wiped out. And the smell--good God! Like burnt meat! I was hurt across the back by the fall of the horse, and there I had to lie until I felt better. Just like parade it had been a minute before-- then stumble, bang, swish!”

H.G. WELLS' THE WAR OF THE WORLDS
is the first movie adaptation of the classic 1898 novel to faithfully translate H. G. Wells' novel with accuracy to his original time period and location.
With the utmost care and respect, the filmmakers worked to maintain Wells' original characters, dialogue and storylines. The look of the martians themselves, their fighting machines and their handling machines were constructed to be as accurate to the book's descriptions as possible.
