Who will save the Earth after huge alien spacecraft demolish the Empire State Building, the White House, downtown Los Angeles, and most of the world's major cities? How about a brave Marine pilot (Will Smith), a brilliant cable TV technician (Jeff Goldblum), and the U.S. president (Bill Pullman), who must all work together to coordinate a daring offensive to stop the invasion on the 4th of July? The smash-hit mixture of sci-fi thrills and disaster movie dramatics also stars Robert Loggia, Margaret Colin, Vivica A. Fox, and Randy Quaid. 145 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital Surround, French Dolby Digital Surround; Subtitles English, Spanish; audio commentary. Two-disc set.

Troubled adolescent Brandon Breyer (Jackson A. Dunn) was finally tipped to the truth that his farmer parents (Elizabeth Banks, David Denman) withheld from him-that he possessed strange and superhuman abilities because he was a foundling from another world. Unfortunately, this young sociopath is less about truth, justice, and the American way than violently bending mankind to his will. Very dark spin on a very familiar pop mythos co-stars Matt Jones, Meredith Hagner, Becky Wahlstrom. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
