"On July 2nd, they arrive. On July 3rd, they strike. On July 4th, we fight back."
What would we do if aliens suddenly showed up out of nowhere and started wreaking havoc on our planet? How long would it take to mount a counterattack in the name of freedom against our otherworldly attackers?
Before the Avengers, we had Earth's mightiest heroes in the form of Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, and Randy Quaid. As Tony Stark promised Loki in that film, "If we can't save the Earth, you can be damn sure we'll avenge it." And that's exactly what our unlikely ragtag team of survivors do in the mid-90's alien invasion summer blockbuster classic, Independence Day!!
Changing the cinematic game forever, Independence Day just about has it all and reinvented the disaster genre. It truly was the end of the world as we knew it!
So join us once more as we level major cities, pool our dwindling resources, and absolutely rejoice in our love for this 1996 popcorn action flick that wowed audiences back then and certainly continues to all these years later! And we ain't done 'til the fat lady sings!!!"
"We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on. We're going to survive. Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!!"
