A dark, high-stakes alien invasion thriller that depicts civilization's collapse under overwhelming extraterrestrial assault, driven by visceral action and existential dread.

In this modern retelling of H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi horror, civilization is laid to ruin when a super race of aliens invades Earth. In a blink of an eye, massive "walkers" cover the planet, annihilating all in their path. As cities crumble and human flesh is ripped from the bone, one man struggles to find the one weapon that will turn the tide for mankind.
