War of the Worlds is a loose adaptation of the 1898 science-fiction novel The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.

In modern-day Europe, astronomers detect a strong radio signal originating from another star system- proof of the existence of an intelligent extraterrestrial species. As the world waits for first contact with the aliens, their craft suddenly arrive on Earth and begin a campaign of extermination against the Human race. The series focuses on a diverse group of survivors trying to find their loved ones and discern the motives and nature of the mysterious invaders. The series premiered in October 2019 and stars Gabriel Byrne, Elizabeth McGovern, Bayo Gbadamosi, and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series War of the Worlds:
