Short description

The plot begins when television broadcasts are interrupted by news that three meteors have struck France, China, and the United States. While the events initially appear to be natural disasters, testimony from witnesses and scientists indicates a more concerning cause. As three additional meteors head toward Earth, governments from different nations collaborate to prevent further impacts.

This 1994 television movie was produced by Mountain View Productions and directed by Robert Iscove. It is the first of five films listed in the director's career, preceding titles such as Cinderella and She's All That. The cast includes Jane Kaczmarek, Brian McNamara, Dwier Brown, and James Morrison, alongside Sander Vanocur and Bree Walker appearing as themselves.

The film has a runtime of 91 minutes and is categorized as a science fiction drama from the United States. It has received generally positive feedback from viewers, holding a 6.9 rating on IMDb based on 1,700 votes and a 6.8 rating on TMDB from 33 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The news anchor was played by TV journalist Sander Vanocur. After the film's release, viewers began to complain, taking what was shown at face value. CNN officially banned its journalists and anchors from playing themselves in cinema.
  • At the beginning of the film, a town in Wyoming is mentioned. In Orson Welles' radio broadcast, the first cylinder with Martians on board landed in a town with the exact same name, but in the state of New Jersey.
  • The film premiered on October 30, 1994, the anniversary of Orson Welles' famous 1938 radio broadcast 'The War of the Worlds', which served as a source of inspiration for the screenwriters.
