Two landmarks in science fiction cinema, and both visions of collapse through a cosmic and human lens. Whether it’s a small town being invaded by aliens or a London newsroom watching Earth unravel itself, together they blend high quality spectacle with realism brilliantly. H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (1953) and The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) are still as smart and relevant today as they were when they were released, using the sci-fi genre to reflect on ideas of war, power, survival, and existence. This is the perfect double feature to watch on the big screen with a crowd!
