Independence Day
“The question of whether or not we are alone in the universe has been answered.”
Director
Roland Emmerich
Screenplay
Dean Devlin, Roland Emmerich
Inexplicable phenomena unfold across the planet until gigantic alien ships settle over the world's major cities, revealing an overwhelming force whose sole purpose is total extermination. Faced with imminent annihilation, a mismatched group of survivors, among them a fighter pilot, a brilliant engineer, and the president of the United States himself, devises a desperate plan to counterattack over the Fourth of July weekend. Roland Emmerich delivers a pioneering disaster spectacle of large-scale destruction and heroic spirit that defined the alien-invasion blockbuster.
