Battle of the Worlds (Italian: Il Pianeta degli uomini spenti) is a cult classic 1961 Italian science fiction film directed by Anthony Dawson (Antonio Margheriti). Starring Claude Rains (Casablanca), Bill Carter, and Maya Brent, this vintage sci-fi gem delivers Cold War-era tension with a thrilling alien invasion plot.
When a mysterious asteroid dubbed “The Outsider” enters Earth’s orbit, astronomer Dr. Fred Steele (Umberto Orsini) and his colleague Eve Barnett (Maya Brent) race to uncover its secrets. But the eccentric Professor Benson (Claude Rains) warns of a darker truth: the asteroid is controlled by an alien intelligence—and its swarm of lethal flying saucers spells doom for humanity.
As global storms rage and the military fails to stop the invasion, Benson devises a desperate plan to hijack the aliens’ automated systems. But time runs out when nuclear missiles are launched to destroy the planet—leading to a haunting finale where Benson sacrifices himself for knowledge, leaving only his loyal dog waiting in vain.
