The film begins two years after the original film. The Martians return to complete their plan of human domination. Appearing in a town of a few survivors a new type of Martian fighter arrives and vaporises all who come across it. Unlike the originals however these appear to be able to move through space at will.
Hiding out in their home that was left untouched in the first invasion George Herbert (C. Thomas Howell) and his son hear an odd sound from the radio used to talk with others. Eventually after reaching his work station George learns that the machines were controlled away from the planet and that the reason they could not see the invasion arriving was due to the use of a type of wormhole between Earth and Mars.
Throughout the course of the film George meets another soldier who had his unit wiped out and is even captured as is his son. When the invasion truly begins we see a new group of battle ships used by the invaders including a flying-machine and larger metallic machines used to attack Paris. Eventually using new technology and with help from a virus a United States Air Force team travels to Mars and destroys the invaders' home.
The movie ends with the noise in the beginning of the movie playing over again in the radio during a picnic. It is unclear what happened to George's wife however she died prior to the movie. If it was due to the first invasion or not is never announced. The ending gives a possible chance for another invasion to be on its way.
