First, there was the mysterious loss of contact with the Mars probe.
Then a few flashes of light were detected via telescope on the planet's surface, and several pieces of undefined space debris travelled through space and fell to Earth.
And thus the War of the Worlds began.
From an isolated farmhouse in rural Wisconsin to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., our world becomes a battlefield against the alien intruders from Mars, whose superior weapons and defenses dwarf the Pentagon's latest weaponry.
By order of the President, scientists and soldiers pool resources and inspiration to overcome a threat that appears bent on our annihilation, while all across the land brave and bold Americans wage their own efforts of resistance against the Martian menace.
At stake is not just the dominion of Earth, but mankind's own survival.
