Independence day: plot, cast and streaming of the film
This evening, December 27, 2021, at 9.20 pm on Italia 1, Independence Day, a 1996 science fiction film, directed by Roland Emmerich, will be broadcast. The film tells of an imaginary and almost successful alien invasion of Earth, with the destruction of several iconic monuments of the United States of America, such as the Empire State Building, the White House and the Library Tower in Los Angeles. But let’s see all the information together in detail.
Plot
On July 2, 1996, a huge alien spaceship, having a quarter of the mass of the Moon, enters orbit around the Earth. From it then other spaceships emerge, each with a radius of fifteen miles in diameter, which take up position on some of the main cities of the Earth. David Levinson, an MIT satellite technician and telecommunications expert, decodes a signal embedded in global satellite broadcasts that he believes is the aliens’ countdown timer for a coordinated attack. With the help of their ex-wife, White House Communications Director Constance Spano, David and his father Julius gain access to the White House Oval Office and warn President Thomas J. Whitmore that aliens are hostile. Whitmore immediately orders large-scale evacuations of New York, Los Angeles and Washington, DC, but it’s too late; the timer hits zero and the spaceships fire destructive beams, killing millions and devastating cities. Whitmore, the Levinsons and a few others escape aboard Air Force One as the capital is destroyed. On July 3, international leaders begin ordering individual counterattacks. Their air forces attack the spacecraft positioned above the ruins of the cities, failing to hit them due to the force fields that surround them. Human combat squadrons and military bases are thus destroyed in a short time. Captain Steven Hiller survives by luring his attacker into the enclosed spaces of the Grand Canyon and, by sacrificing his plane, forces the alien to land on the ground. Hiller subdues the alien and, encountering a convoy of refugees, transports the unconscious alien to area 51, where Whitmore’s group landed. The human race needs a new strategy.
