12. ‘War of the Worlds’ (2005)

When extremely hostile beasties invade, Tom Cruise and his estranged son and daughter struggle to survive not only the aliens, but their fellow earthlings in Steven Spielberg‘s adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic. It comes undone in the third act with an eye-roller of an ending, but the first intense two thirds are pure polish for the director.
