Wiki.
The War of the Worlds: Next Century (Polish: Wojna światów – następne stulecie) is a 1981 Polish dystopian film written and directed by Piotr Szulkin. Although it was inspired by, including the title deriving from, H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, it is not an adaptation of the novel.
The story follows a news presenter called Iron Idem (Roman Wilhelmi) who is forced to assist in the agenda of the newly-invaded Martians. Krystyna Janda, Jerzy Stuhr, Janusz Gajos, Bożena Dykiel, Zbigniew Buczkowski, Witold Pyrkosz, and Stanisław Tym also star. The film premiered at the Gdańsk Film Festival on 11 September 1981, before releasing theatrically in Poland on 20 February 1983.
