Story Line
Strange phenomena surface around the globe. The skies ignite. Terror races through the world's major cities. As these extraordinary events unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that a force of incredible magnitude has arrived. Its mission: total annihilation over the Fourth of July weekend. The last hope to stop the destruction is an unlikely group of people united by fate and unimaginable circumstances.
“The question of whether or not we are alone in the universe has been answered.”

•3/10/2021Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.
It's Will Smith fighting invading aliens, and Jeff Goldblum being almost annoyingly smart.
The alien aspect of the movie and the story are all great, but there is also a lot of humanizing...

•1/21/2023**Disaster or alien movie (possibly even action movie) - it just doesn't get better than Independence Day! This 1996 sci-fi action blockbuster is one of the greatest of all time!**
When you watch the mega-blockbusters of the 1990s and compare them...
