(AUDIENCE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
3
00:01:20,372 --> 00:01:21,373
Ah!
4
00:01:21,874 --> 00:01:23,250
Marvellous!
5
00:01:23,918 --> 00:01:25,336
It can't be.
6
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:28,005
And yet...
7
00:01:29,632 --> 00:01:31,008
- Vera!
- William?
8
00:01:31,050 --> 00:01:34,178
Vera, have you seen it?
Have you looked at Mars this evening?
9
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:37,515
Yes, (LAUGHS)
I have.
10
00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:42,520
There's a great light on
the illuminated part of the disc.
11
00:01:42,603 --> 00:01:45,773
It's like a puff of flame,
bursting from the planet.
12
00:01:45,856 --> 00:01:46,857
(BOTH LAUGH)
13
00:01:46,899 --> 00:01:49,860
The Society's in raptures. I've just left them.
14
00:01:50,152 --> 00:01:52,321
Ah, what can it mean?
15
00:01:52,655 --> 00:01:54,657
- Life, do you think?
-(LAUGHS) Don't be absurd.
16
00:01:55,533 --> 00:01:59,120
Must I remind you
how unlikely it is for evolution
17
00:01:59,203 --> 00:02:01,956
to have taken place on two adjacent planets?
18
00:02:02,414 --> 00:02:03,582
No.
19
00:02:03,707 --> 00:02:08,546
But a volcano, perhaps a lightning storm!
20
00:02:08,712 --> 00:02:11,549
It is possible, William.
Think of it just a moment.
21
00:02:11,674 --> 00:02:13,217
Think of what?
22
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:16,387
Mars receives barely half
the light and heat of Earth.
23
00:02:16,512 --> 00:02:21,308
Even at the equator at noon,
it's colder than our coldest winter.
24
00:02:21,392 --> 00:02:22,852
What could live?
25
00:02:23,853 --> 00:02:25,729
Something else perhaps.
26
00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:28,357
Something, something older.
27
00:02:30,192 --> 00:02:33,028
If Mars is colder now, then once it was hotter.
28
00:02:33,529 --> 00:02:36,740
It's cooled, and before we did here,
29
00:02:36,824 --> 00:02:40,911
so maybe life began before us too,
and advanced before us.
30
00:02:40,953 --> 00:02:43,581
(LAUGHS) We'd be like monkeys to them.
31
00:02:43,622 --> 00:02:48,419
(LAUGHS) The stuff of dreams, Vera,
of fancy, of femininity.
32
00:02:49,837 --> 00:02:51,672
Mars's oceans have shrunk.
33
00:02:51,755 --> 00:02:55,176
Its snow-caps regularly melt
and devastate its temperatures.
34
00:02:55,926 --> 00:03:00,764
If there was ever life, my dear,
it's at the last of its exhaustion.
35
00:03:00,848 --> 00:03:03,767
Well, perhaps it is.
36
00:03:06,812 --> 00:03:08,189
It's a volcano.
37
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,277
- Such a flash of light.
-Indeed.
38
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,445
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
39
00:03:14,528 --> 00:03:16,030
Perhaps a storm.
40
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:19,116
Well, then, what a storm!
41
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,618
(WIND HOWLING)
42
00:03:20,659 --> 00:03:24,371
My, my! Vera, come quickly!
43
00:03:26,874 --> 00:03:28,584
We should leave!

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
46
00:05:17,109 --> 00:05:20,321
Mars is no longer capable of sustaining life.
47
00:05:20,404 --> 00:05:22,156
Our water is depleted.
48
00:05:22,239 --> 00:05:26,076
Temperatures increase annually,
while our populations plummet.
49
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,955
Efforts to stabilise
the atmosphere have failed.
50
00:05:30,456 --> 00:05:34,877
We have arrived at
the only remaining course of action,
51
00:05:35,085 --> 00:05:39,006
the conquest and occupation of Earth.
52
00:05:39,131 --> 00:05:41,175
- Earth.
-ALL: Earth.
53
00:05:41,342 --> 00:05:46,472
Earth is abundant with the natural resources
our ancestors squandered.
54
00:05:46,555 --> 00:05:50,934
The environment will seem uncomfortable,
but not inhibitive.
55
00:05:51,101 --> 00:05:53,687
The problem is, of course, the humans.
56
00:05:53,771 --> 00:05:54,772
- The humans.
- ALL: The humans.
57
00:05:54,897 --> 00:05:57,608
They have developed primitive intelligence,
58
00:05:57,691 --> 00:06:03,572
but their young society remains structured
around perpetual conquest and conflict.
59
00:06:03,655 --> 00:06:04,948
- Conflict.
- ALL: Conflict.
60
00:06:05,115 --> 00:06:08,494
A rapid offensive to their social
and economic heart
61
00:06:08,577 --> 00:06:11,372
should prevent significant opposition.
62
00:06:11,497 --> 00:06:12,831
- Opposition.
- ALL: Opposition.
63
00:06:12,998 --> 00:06:17,127
The means for this attack
are already being realised.
64
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:18,962
- Realised.
- ALL: Realised.
65
00:06:19,004 --> 00:06:23,467
A large scale hydrogen accelerator
will be constructed
66
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:28,722
to launch suspension pods carrying
the assault forces.
67
00:06:34,144 --> 00:06:40,192
We have not required such destructive
weaponry in over 5,000 years
68
00:06:40,484 --> 00:06:44,279
but modifications
to our current technologies
69
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:47,658
should overwhelm
the inferior human defences.
70
00:06:47,741 --> 00:06:49,493
- Defences.
- ALL: Defences.
71
00:06:49,618 --> 00:06:56,500
It is time for Mars to thrive again,
on Earth's young, unprotected soil.
72
00:07:15,727 --> 00:07:19,940
GEORGE: No one would have believed,
in the last years of the 19th century,
73
00:07:20,065 --> 00:07:21,984
that human affairs were being watched
74
00:07:22,025 --> 00:07:26,196
by intelligences which inhabited
the timeless worlds of space.
75
00:07:27,114 --> 00:07:29,867
No one could have dreamed
we were being scrutinised,
76
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:32,453
as someone with a microscope
studies creatures
77
00:07:32,536 --> 00:07:35,372
that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
78
00:07:35,998 --> 00:07:40,169
Few men even considered the possibility
of life on other planets
79
00:07:40,335 --> 00:07:43,255
and yet, across the gulf of space,
80
00:07:43,338 --> 00:07:48,802
minds immeasurably superior to ours
regarded this Earth with envious eyes,
81
00:07:49,553 --> 00:07:54,141
and slowly, and surely,
they drew their plans against us.

(MUSIC RESUMES)
88
00:12:02,681 --> 00:12:05,350
At midnight on the 12th of August,
89
00:12:05,434 --> 00:12:10,021
a
huge mass of luminous gas
erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth.
90
00:12:10,731 --> 00:12:14,985
I made contact with Ogilvy, the astronomer,
and we hurried to his observatory.
91
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:19,531
Across 200 million miles of void,
invisibly hurtling towards us,
92
00:12:19,656 --> 00:12:23,660
came the first of the missiles that were
to bring so much calamity to Earth.
93
00:12:24,703 --> 00:12:30,500
As we watched, there was another jet of gas.
It was another missile, starting on its way.
94
00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:04,451
And that's how it was for the next 1O nights.
95
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:10,040
A flare spurting out from Mars,
bright green, drawing a green mist behind it,
96
00:13:10,207 --> 00:13:13,710
a beautiful, but somehow disturbing sight.
97
00:13:13,835 --> 00:13:16,463
Ogilvy assured me we were in no danger.
98
00:13:16,546 --> 00:13:20,425
Perhaps a huge volcanic explosion
was in progress,
99
00:13:20,842 --> 00:13:23,428
but he was convinced
there could be no living thing
100
00:13:23,595 --> 00:13:25,764
on that remote, forbidding planet.
101
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:32,103
(SINGING) The chances of anything coming
from Mars are a million to one, he said
102
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,071
The chances of anything coming from Mars
are a million to one
103
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:45,242
But still they come
104
00:13:46,701 --> 00:13:49,579
GEORGE". Then came the night
the first missile approached Earth.
105
00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:53,166
Hundreds saw it,
but thought it was an ordinary falling star.
106
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:56,086
Some say it travelled with a hissing sound,
107
00:13:56,127 --> 00:13:58,630
-some that it landed with a green flash.
-(CAPSULE HISSING)
108
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:03,552
However, next day there was a huge crater
in the middle of Horsell Common,
109
00:14:03,677 --> 00:14:06,346
and Ogilvy came to examine what lay there,
110
00:14:06,555 --> 00:14:10,225
a cylinder, 30 yards across, glowing hot
111
00:14:10,267 --> 00:14:14,062
and with faint sounds of movement
coming from within.
112
00:14:14,271 --> 00:14:17,941
Suddenly the top began moving,
rotating, unscrewing,
113
00:14:18,024 --> 00:14:21,570
and Ogilvy feared there was a man inside,
trying to escape.
114
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:24,656
He rushed to the cylinder,
but the intense heat stopped him
115
00:14:24,739 --> 00:14:27,617
before he could burn himself
on the still glowing metal.
116
00:14:27,826 --> 00:14:33,373
(SINGING) The chances of anything coming
from Mars are a million to one, he said
117

The chances of anything coming from Mars
are a million to one
118
00:14:43,341 --> 00:14:47,012

Are a million to one, he said

as though it were just like any other.

of shunting trains, ringing and rumbling,

softened almost into melody by the distance.

a crowd gathered on the Common,

hypnotised by the unscrewing
of the cylinder.

Two luminous disc-like eyes

A huge, rounded bulk,
larger than a bear, rose up slowly,

glistening like wet leather.
147

Its lipless mouth quivered and slavered
and snake-like tentacles writhed

crept closer to the pit.

A tall funnel rose, then an invisible ray
of heat leapt from man to man

and there was a bright glare,
as each was instantly turned to fire.

that when I was on the very verge of safety,
158

this mysterious death would leap after me
and strike me down.

continued hammering and stirring,

sleepless, indefatigable, at work upon
the machines they were making.

Now and again a light,
like the beam of a warship's searchlight,

straight into the eyes of my beloved Carrie!

At sight of me she began to fight her way
along the packed deck to the gangplank.

could conquer all

514
01:07:02,978 --> 01:07:08,275
Tell me what kind of weapon is love
When it comes to the fight
515
01:07:10,110 --> 01:07:15,115
And just how much protection is truth
against all Satan's might
516
01:07:17,367 --> 01:07:20,871

521
01:07:36,636 --> 01:07:39,431

The Martians spent the night
making a new machine.

It was a squat, metallic spider
with huge articulated claws,

Inside the hood of their new machine,

they were draining the fresh, living blood

and a menacing claw explored the room.
633
01:17:21,471 --> 01:17:23,473
I dragged the Parson down to the coal cellar.
634
01:17:23,556 --> 01:17:26,142

I could see the claw touching things,
637
01:17:30,647 --> 01:17:35,193

then it touched my boot!

it gripped something.

690
01:23:36,971 --> 01:23:40,891
There's no war between men and ants
and that's what we are now. Ants!

Correct. But squealing
and panicking don't help.
693

I've been in sight of death before,
694
01:23:46,522 --> 01:23:49,025
and you know who always comes through?
695
01:23:49,108 --> 01:23:51,902
- The man who keeps on thinking.
- Uh-huh.

698
01:23:55,406 --> 01:23:58,784
Everyone was rushing away,
so I headed right for the Martians,
699
01:23:58,868 --> 01:24:00,411
like a sparrow goes for the crumbs.
700
01:24:00,619 --> 01:24:02,288
Now, people are starving in heaps out there,
701
01:24:02,329 --> 01:24:05,583
treading on each other,
but I've everything I need,
702
01:24:06,083 --> 01:24:08,085
till the Martians are ready.
703
01:24:08,127 --> 01:24:09,378
Ready for what?
704
01:24:09,462 --> 01:24:12,548
The next stage, bringing over
the rest of their people.
705
01:24:12,631 --> 01:24:14,717
After that, they won't go catching us
one at a time.
706
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,469
They'll do it systematic.
707
01:24:16,635 --> 01:24:19,138
Laying traps and storing us
in cages and things.
708
01:24:19,180 --> 01:24:21,891
So we'll have to fix up
a new kind of life for ourselves,
709

namby-pamby civilisation and stuff,

caught and fattened like cattle.

where they'll never find us.

721
01:25:10,106 --> 01:25:11,774
Underground.
722

hundreds of miles of drains,

about living underground, eh?

upright, but as still as the first.

While that voice sounded,
London had still seemed alive.
872

But suddenly, there was a change,
873
01:42:10,416 --> 01:42:13,378
the passing of something, I knew not what.
874

It was erect and motionless, like the others.
878
01:42:27,392 --> 01:42:29,477
An insane resolve possessed me.
879
01:42:31,104 --> 01:42:34,107
I would give my life to the Martians,
here and now.

was circling and clustering about the hood.

I began running along the road.
884
01:42:59,549 --> 01:43:03,428
I felt no fear, only a wild,
trembling exultation,
885
01:43:03,511 --> 01:43:06,764
as I ran up the hill towards
the motionless monster.
886
01:43:06,806 --> 01:43:08,892
Out of the hood hung red shreds,

now peeked and tore.

I scrambled up to the crest of Primrose Hill,
892
01:43:58,316 --> 01:44:00,193
and the Martians' camp was below me.
893

01:44:02,362 --> 01:44:05,156
and scattered about it,
in their overturned machines,

were the Martians, dead.
