Orson Welles is the bombastic wonder boy of radio and stage. But is certainly he also a murderer? Walter Gibson – inventor of pulp superhero the Shadow – travels to New York City to collaborate on a script with Welles, superstar of the radio display The Mercury Theater on the Air flow. The young Welles can be a enchanting but tough taskmaster who relishes dramatic blowouts with friends, lovers, and colleagues. So when a lifeless body is found in the studio room minutes prior to the live broadcast of The War from the Worlds, Gibson knows Welles will be the New York Law enforcement Department’s number 1 suspect. Gibson offers exactly one hour – while Welles is definitely on the air enacting the infamous hoax tale of the Martian invasion – to find the genuine murderer and clear the radio star’s name. With its amazing reconstruction from the broadcast that hoodwinked the nation, The War from the Worlds Murder is normally a paean to radio’s golden age.
