Twenty years after humanity defeated the alien invaders, Earth has transformed. Using salvaged extraterrestrial technology, the nations of the world have united under one global defense system. Cities gleam with advanced innovation, and peace seems assured. But beneath the calm lies a growing unease—because deep in space, something is stirring. The enemy that once nearly destroyed humanity has not forgotten its defeat.
When a massive alien mothership enters Earth’s orbit, dwarfing the original invasion force, the world is thrown into chaos once more. The aliens return with new weapons, new tactics, and a vengeance that threatens not just the planet, but the survival of humanity itself. As cities crumble and communication collapses, old heroes must rise again, joined by a new generation of pilots, scientists, and soldiers who grew up in the shadow of the first war.
Former President Whitmore, haunted by visions of the aliens’ hive mind, steps back into the fight, while scientist David Levinson races against time to understand the enemy’s new plan. Meanwhile, fearless pilot Jake Morrison and fighter ace Dylan Hiller—son of the legendary Captain Steven Hiller—must set aside rivalry and fear to defend the world from annihilation.
As the alien queen herself descends to Earth, humanity’s last hope lies in a daring, near-suicidal counterattack deep within the alien ship. Sacrifice, courage, and unity become the final weapons in a war that transcends borders and species. The fate of the planet once again depends on a handful of brave souls willing to risk everything.
Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) is a spectacular, heart-pounding return to one of cinema’s most iconic battles. Blending cutting-edge visuals with themes of resilience and unity, it reminds audiences that the spirit of independence isn’t just about freedom—it’s about standing together when the world needs heroes the most.
