War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave

ActionAdventureComedyHorrorSci-FiThriller90 min

Two years after the first Martian assault, George Herbert sees his worst fear come true when the aliens return and send a second wave of walkers across what remains of Earth. C. Thomas Howell leads the film as the new invasion turns surviving cities into battle zones, with Christopher Reid among the ensemble as military forces regroup. As the attacks spread, the story widens from desperate defense on the ground to a high-stakes plan to take the fight to Mars itself. The stakes stay fixed on humanity’s survival as Earth faces another round of destruction.
