It was transmitted live at 8 p.m. standard time, throughout the U.S.A., on the CBS Network. Millions heard it, and many panicked, believing that Martians were invading New Jersey. Using reconstruction and interviews with American radio listeners this film sets out to analyse how it was that such a profound reaction was caused. Archive radio broadcasts as Hitler marched through Europe in 1938, together with science fiction film serials such as 'Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars', help illustrate how the American people has been subtly prepared to accept the notion of alien invaders".
