An alien invasion in the style of a disaster movie, so the heroes can do something about the disaster and beat it in the end. The Avengers does a bit of the same trick. And it always makes me want to run a miniseries game like it.
The sequel Independence Day: Resurgence is interesting in running with the world-changing events of the original but the world-building distances it from the real-world setting of the original, and then the plot doesn’t capitalise on it as much of the reverse-engineered tech is disrupted by the new alien invasion fleet and a lot of the same story beats recur.
Er, anyway, happy 4th of July, USA type readers!
