Independence Day
Will Smith / DVD / PG-13 / 1996
Starring: Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Margaret Colin
Pyrotechnic futuristic disaster action mondo-adventure about aliens attacking Earth and humans giving them the big boot. When mountain-sized flying saucers open fire on the world's cities, a ragtag band of colorful characters sets out to bring the alien critters to their pseudopodic knees. Borrowing liberally from science fiction classics like "War of the Worlds" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still," and a host of disaster movies from "Towering Inferno" to "Meteor," ID4 maintains a mindless mission to entertain with dazzling special effects and unabashed feel-good charm. Academy Award Nominations: Best Sound, Best Visual Effects. Academy Awards: Best Visual Effects.
With a $71 million budget and mind-blowing special effects, "Independence Day" is a grand, high-tech throwback to such films of the 1950s as "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "The War of the Worlds." Here, aliens, in numerous gargantuan spaceships, arrive without warning and hover over the world's most important cities, creating global panic. The nasty visitors use death rays to blow New York, Washington D.C, and Los Angeles to smithereens. A handful of plucky Americans, including the Clinton-esque President, a gung-ho fighter pilot and a computer geek named David, attempt to devise a strategy against the invaders. On July 4th, their risky plan is put into effect, as dozens of fighter pilots (including the President) wage a full-frontal assault on the spaceships. However, their success (and the fate of the world) depends on David, who is attempting to disarm the aliens' mothership -- in a most unusual way.
