Will Radford is an agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and works on a government surveillance program capable of monitoring everyone on the planet. Much of his job involves using that tool, and his family life suffers because of it. His daughter Faith, who is pregnant, and his son Dave live under their father's constant surveillance, which strains every conversation between them. While helping FBI agents track down a mysterious hacker nicknamed "Disruptor," Will finds himself in a search that pits him against his own family and raises doubts about how far the control he wields really goes.

Trivia about War of the Worlds

The movie had a production schedule of 15 days, followed by a post-production process that lasted two years.

According to producer Patrick Aiello, the production budget was less than $10 million.

At the 46th Razzie Awards, the movie won five of the six categories it was nominated for, including Worst Picture, Worst Director and Worst Actor.

Bekmambetov linked the movie to the radio broadcast of Orson Welles, which used the radio to make people believe the invasion was real.

Faced with poor reception, Bekmambetov preferred three weeks at No. 1 on Amazon Prime to a good review.

After its premiere on Prime Video, the movie reached No. 2 among the platform's top ten most-watched titles, according to popularity tracking by FlixPatrol.

The film was shot using screenlife technology, a format that shows the action through computer screens, phones and other digital devices.

The movie premiered directly on Prime Video, bypassing a theatrical release.
