Synopsis: In a parallel universe, World War One is imminent as a band of human resistance fighters march to battle against the second invasion of the Martians. In 1899, the Earth was attacked by ruthless invaders from the planet Mars. The Martians' 80-foot tall, heat-ray spewing Tripod battle machines laid waste to the planet, but the invaders ultimately fell prey to Earth's tiny bacteria. Fifteen years later, Man has rebuilt his shattered world, in large part by utilizing captured Martian technology. Equipped with giant, steam-powered Tripod battle machines, the international rapid reaction force is Mankind's first line of defense against the return of the rapacious Martian invaders.
And return the Martians do. The rematch finds the multinational battle squad tripod "Goliath" on the front lines of a vicious interplanetary offensive. This time the Martians are using even more advanced alien technology. In the crucible of combat, the young crew helming the mighty Goliath will be tested to the limits of their endurance and courage as they fight for Mankind's very survival under the onslaught of an implacable enemy.
War of the Worlds: Goliath is presented in 2D and 3D, with 1080p video and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Special features have yet to be revealed.
