Independence Day

The Plot

On July 2, 1996, an enormous alien mothership arrives in the orbit of the Earth and deploys multiple saucers, each fifteen miles wide that take positions over Earth's major cities.

Captain Steven Hiller is deployed despite being on leave, much to the annoyance of his girlfriend, Jasmine Dubrow, who believes these new aliens are trouble. She decides to leave Los Angeles with her son, Dylan Dubrow, to get away in case something happens. David Levinson, an MIT-trained satellite technician, decodes a signal embedded within global satellite transmissions, realizing it is the aliens' countdown timer for a coordinated attack. With help from his ex-wife, White House Communications Director Constance Spano, David and his father Julius gain access to the Oval Office and alert President Thomas Whitmore to the threat.

Whitmore orders evacuations of New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., but it is too late. Each of the saucers fires a single destructive beam, causing a gargantuan explosion that incinerates each saucer's targeted city, killing millions. Whitmore, the Levinsons, and a few others escape aboard Air Force One as Washington is destroyed along with New York, Los Angeles, and other major cities around the world. Jasmine and Dylan Dubrow, are forced to flee from their car with the dog. Jasmine manages to kick open a door and the three take shelter, emerging once the destruction is over.
