Independence Day

On July 2nd, the iconic speech of Neil Armstrong reverberates at the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon. This historic moment quickly transforms as the lunar landscape begins to experience unusual disturbances.

An enormous mothership, measuring over 550 kilometers wide, emerges from above the Moon, casting a large shadow. This event marks the beginning of an extraterrestrial threat to Earth.

At the SETI facility in New Mexico, David Levinson detects a chilling signal coming from the mothership. He realizes it is broadcasting a countdown through Earth's satellites.

In a quest to alert President Tom Whitmore about the impending invasion, David convinces his father Julius to drive him to Washington D.C. Time is of the essence as they race to present their findings.

General William Grey and Secretary of Defense Albert Nimzicki engage in a tense discussion about how to handle the alien threat. President Whitmore advocates for caution, amidst the military's push for aggressive measures.

The invasion commences as massive saucers arrive, causing global chaos. High-ranking officials are evacuated, but President Whitmore remains to reassure the public during the turmoil.

U.S. Marine Captain Steven Hiller is summoned back from his Fourth of July leave. He urgently prepares his squadron for a mission amidst the growing chaos as the world braces for an all-out alien assault.

Constance Spano organizes a crucial meeting for David Levinson with President Whitmore. David reveals critical information about the aliens' control over satellites and their plans for an assault.

Aboard Air Force One, chaos ensues as alien saucers attack major cities. The strike on the White House results in massive destruction, showcasing the aliens' power and intent to dominate.

On July 3rd, Hiller’s squadron engages the alien ships in a desperate counterattack. They soon realize that conventional weapons are ineffective against the advanced alien technology.

After a harrowing encounter, Hiller successfully captures an alien being. He, along with Russell Casse, decides to transport the alien to Area 51 for further investigation.

At Area 51, Dr. Okun presents the technology of the aliens. Here, crucial information is uncovered, including the aliens’ deadly plan to extinguish human life.

As the countdown to disaster continues, David devises a risky plan to use captured technology to upload a computer virus to the mothership. Hiller volunteers to pilot the mission.

On July 4th, President Whitmore leads military forces in a rallying cry against the invading aliens. Casse leads a kamikaze attack, which becomes pivotal in the battle against the alien forces.

With the alien ships weakened due to the uploaded virus, global forces unite to launch a final assault. As the mothership explodes, humanity celebrates its hard-won victory.
