War with the World by H.G. Wells (Film)

Synopsis: (from BBC.co.uk – Autumn 2006 Press Release)
HG Wells – War with the World stars Micahel Sheen and tells the fascinating story of the father of science fiction.

By the time he was in his early thirties,Wells (who was born in 1866) had earned fame from his pioneering novels The Time Machine,The Invisible Man and The War Of The Worlds. His reputation increased further with the eerily prophetic non-fiction writing which followed. His many uncanny predictions included the internet, tanks and nuclear warfare.

Every word spoken by HG Wells in the film is his own, taken from his autobiography and other writings.The film mixes futuristic animation with drama to tell the story
