Original title: Independence Day

## Synopsis

Independence Day: Resurgence is a 2016 American science fiction action film co-written, directed, and produced by Roland Emmerich and co-written and co-produced by Dean Devlin, serving as a standalone sequel to Independence Day (1996). It stars an ensemble cast that consists of Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Maika Monroe, Jessie T. Usher, Travis Tope, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Judd Hirsch. The film takes place twenty years after the events of the first film, during which the United Nations has collaborated to form the Earth Space Defense, an international military defense and research organization.
