Battle Of The Worlds
A stray planet on a collision course with Earth instead takes orbit around our blue marble. What seems like a dead planet suddenly launches a fleet of flying saucers which attack our space fleets.
My takeRetro sci-fi spectacle that taps into Cold War paranoia and classic UFO intrigue. A pulpy, earnest adventure that rewards viewers who want big ideas, practical effects, and mid-century charm without overthinking it.
