Summary:
"On October 30, 1938, families across the country were gathered around their radios when their regular programming was interrupted by an announcer delivering news of a meteor strike, along with terrifying war machines moving toward New York City. Some listeners sat transfixed before their radios, while others fled their homes. But the broadcast was not breaking news; it was Welles's adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic War of the Worlds." -- (Source of summary not specified.)
