From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Independence Day: Resurgence from 2016 and Escape Plan from 2013.
Independence Day: Resurgence is a 2016 American science fiction action film co-written and directed by Roland Emmerich, serving as a sequel to the 1996 film Independence Day.
It stars an ensemble cast that consists of Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Maika Monroe, 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 Defence, an international military defence and research organization.
Through reverse engineering, the world has fused the power of alien technology with humanity's and laid the groundwork to resist a second invasion.
Plans for a sequel to Independence Day began as early as 2001, with 20th Century Fox eventually green lighting the project in 2014.
Principal photography began in April 2015 at locations primarily in New Mexico but also in the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah, which were featured in the original.
This was one of Robert Loggia's final projects before he died, and the film is dedicated in memory of him.
Independence Day: Resurgence was released by 20th Century Fox in the United States on 24 June 2016, twenty years after the release of Independence Day, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D, receiving negative reviews and being considered a box office disappointment by analysts, having grossed $389.7 million worldwide at the box office against its $165 million budget.
