On July 2nd, communications systems worldwide are sent into chaos by a strange atmospheric interference. At first thought to be meteors, the United States military suspect that a number of enormous alien spacecraft are on a collision course with Earth. After attempts to communicate with the aliens go nowhere, David Levinson, an ex-scientist turned cable technician, discovers that the aliens are going to attack major points around the globe in less than a day. On July 3rd, the aliens all but obliterate New York, Los Angeles, and Washington. Survivors set out towards Area 51, a strange government testing ground where it is rumored the military has a captured alien spacecraft of their own. The survivors devise a plan to fight back against the killing aliens, and July 4th becomes the day humanity will fight for its freedom.

Entertaining submitted by Zekicmom on June 18, 2013, 2:36pm At times predictable, but still a fun movie if you don't take it too seriously.

Action submitted by tshish on July 9, 2016, 8:50pm Action Looked amazing on blue ray and big screen. Our kids loved it.

Independence day submitted by yufamily on August 12, 2023, 12:16pm Rewatched this last night and it's still pretty good for a 1996 movie.
