In War of the Worlds (2025), Will Radford is a top analyst for Homeland Security who monitors potential threats through a sprawling mass-surveillance program. Confident in the system he helps run, Radford’s world is upended when an inexplicable attack by an unknown entity exposes gaps in the data and inconsistencies in what his agency is willing to reveal. As cities reel and communication lines falter, he begins to suspect that the greatest danger may not come from outside but from the secrets kept within the halls of power.
Pulled into a tense, globe-spanning hunt for the truth, Radford must navigate shifting alliances, moral compromises, and the ethical cost of the very tools he employs. The film blends high-stakes action with a probing examination of surveillance, accountability, and the fragility of trust, delivering a suspenseful, thought-provoking thriller where survival hinges on exposing a hidden reality before it’s too late.
