Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg's 'War of the Worlds' is a Streaming Hit

One of the most divisive sci-fi movies of this century is defying the haters by shooting up the streaming charts. Released in 2005 to decent reviews from critics, the movie polarized audiences. Based on one of the most influential science fiction novels of all time, it puts a fresh spin on the story — which was one of the most divisive aspects of the adaptation. Add to that some major A-list names, gory action, and a lot of running, and you have a sci-fi hit that's gained a contentious legacy 20 years after its release. It's also now streaming on Paramount+, where contemporary audiences are discovering it for themselves.
