That  was the work of Orson Welles, also a famous movie director. Although the radio play was broadcast on Halloween, traditionally a time for "tricks," many people were angry with him and with CBS. Nobody got send to jail, but CBS had to promise never again to use the "we interrupt this program" device for dramatic purposes.

Two years later, H.G. Wells spoke to Orson Welles during a live radio broadcast. The author told the moviemaker that he thought many of the panic-stricken people on that famous evening were only pretending.

Steven Spielberg doesn't mind being next in a long line of people to milk this story. His version, like the radio play, begins in New Jersey. He says, "War of the Worlds really is about our deepest fears, and the concept of what happens when this planet is invaded. It's not one of my sweet, benigh, alien odysseys. It's not one of my sweet, benigh, alien odysseys; it's the first time I've really jumped directly in the center of a science fiction horror film."

We recommend that you check out the result. Incredibly, if you don't like this film's treatment of the H.G. Wells novel, two other movie adaptations of the same novel were released at the same time. Alien invasions, it seems, come in waves.
