The story of the movie has been repeated N numbers of times in the hollywood history, but what makes the movie different its technical wizardry.
The movie is as usual with a simple plot, Bill Pullman plays the US President, who faces the challenge of dealing with the invading aliens. It becomes too confusing in the being for the Government to whether the aliens are friendly or hostile, this is answered by the aliens in a form of blowing up the skyscrapers to pieces with their nasty beams. With the aliens in full attack mode, its is up to the talented and industrious Americans to stand up against the aliens to save the world! Jeff Goldblum is a crack-pot communication genius, who finds out the aliens intension and take on to break the backbone of the highly technical alien stuff.
It all starts out when a heap of spaceships, each a size of a big city take their position over a number of cities all over the world for a invasion. The whole world is excited just like US President himself start out a celebration to welcome them. US President Bill Pullman decides to send a Helicopter to welcome them as guest and gets hit back by them with their laser beam. NOW! it is time that US plays UNCLE SAM to take on the alienships to protect the world from the invaders.

Airforce pilot try their luck by target a alienship with missile, which doesnt even touch the alienship edge. Our Communication genius comes up with a brilliant idea of infiltering the alienships communication system and mothership itself with VIRUS! And the rest is history as your KNOW!

The movie bounces back every now and then with some special effects, which are very exciting. The movie has a excellent soundtrack music and some classic shots, for example, like White House and Empire State Building being blown into bits and pieces. Special effects are really incredible!
The concept of movie has visited us a lot of time, it is a movie with a mix of War of Worlds, Star Wars and even Stargate. But this movie makes a great entertainment, with some funny humour, touching drama and thrilling excitement until and unless if you dont take them serious.
