An in-depth look at the greatest hoax in radio history and the panic that followed, which Publishers Weekly calls “a rollicking portrait of a director on the cusp of greatness.”On a warm Halloween Eve, October 30th, 1938, during a broadcast of H G. Wells’ War of the Worlds, a 23 year old Orson Welles held his hands up for radio silence in the CBS studio in New York City. Whilst millions of people ran out into the night screaming, grabbed shotguns, drove off in cars, and hid in basements, attics, or anywhere they could find to get away from Martians intent on exterminating the human race. As Wells held up his hands to his fellow actors, musicians, and sound technicians, he turned six seconds of radio silence—dead air—into absolute horror, changing the way the world would view media forever, and making himself one
of the most famous men in America.
