30 Best Tom Cruise Movies
16. War of the Worlds (2005)
As an action-packed adaptation of the classic H. G. Wells' novel, Steven Spielberg’s War of the World needed an actor as effective as Tom Cruise. In the role of the divorced father Ray Ferrier, Cruise pulls double duty as a concerned father and daring escapist of alien disasters.
He displays just as much love and fear for his kids as he does for being the fastest runner when the aliens start zapping humans. It’s an intense disaster picture and proves how well Cruise can traverse this genre.
