  • Genuinely fun, visually ambitious adventure fun from the days before every action movie with funny bits had to undercut itself every fifteen minutes. The alien designs and set pieces are way more ambitious than they needed to be, giving the movie a surprisingly strong sense of identity - this isn't just a random alien invasion, it's Independence Day.

  • One of my favorite films ever. The visual effects were frighteningly real, and the story had emotional substance that was moving and profound at the same time.

Synopsis

Roland Emmerich's iconic 1996 sci-fi disaster movie Independence Day chronicles the attack of a hostile race of aliens against planet Earth. When extraterrestrial aircraft occupy Earth without warning, the forces of humanity quickly band together to stop them. At the behest of President Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman), US Marine pilot Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith) and satellite engineer David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) organize humanity's last-ditch counterattack against the technologically-advanced alien mothership.
