Movie Plot Back to top

It is an ordinary summer day. But then, without warning, something very extraordinary happens. Enormous shadows fall across the land. Strange atmospheric phenomena, ominous and mesmerizing, surface around the globe. All eyes turn upward. The question of whether we're alone in the universe has finally been answered. And, in a matter of minutes, the lives of every person across the globe are forever changed. With the fate of our planet at stake, the Fourth of July is about to take on an entirely new meaning. No longer will it be an American holiday. It will be known as the day the entire world fought back. The day we did not go gentle into the good night... The day all of us on planet Earth celebrated our independence day.

Wonderful.

What I loved most: When Will Smith grumbled as he dragged the alien back to the headquaters.

It's a great, wonderful, touching, emotional, humourous movie. Worthy of your eyes, bottomline is, it's great. Will Smith is funny and the whole show's morale of the story is basically to unite as one and stand together no matter what happens. A great storyline and each scene makes you want to watch the next more.
