A 2005 film directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Cruise, and very loosely based on the H. G. Wells book of that name. Cruise is a divorced dad living in a modern-day New Jersey suburb. He has two kids whom he wants to be a better parent to. After about twenty minutes or so showing family life with his family, metal tripods with lasers start landing in New Jersey. Red plants grow where the tripods land. It's a war between alien life-forms and humanity. Action ensues between attempted moments of heartwarming.

Red plants grow where the tripods land. It's a war between alien life-forms and humanity. Action ensues between attempted moments of heartwarming. Not to be confused with two separate War of the Worlds films released the same year(Which the crews didn't discover the other two were making movies on the same novel until after they started production or was done so by design to snub it) directly to video which were overshadowed by Spielberg's production. Directed by David Michael Latt and Timothy Hines each (The one by Latt even got a sequel but with a different director). Confusingly, these two films were both named H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds.
