Strange phenomena surface around the globe. The skies ignite. Terror races through the world's major cities. As these extraordinary events unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that a force of incredible magnitude has arrived. Its mission: total annihilation over the Fourth of July weekend. The last hope to stop the destruction is an unlikely group of people united by fate and unimaginable circumstances.
Captain Steven Hiller must pivot from a cocky fighter pilot to a desperate defender of humanity as colossal alien ships shadow the globe. This spectacle trades quiet tension for massive, practical explosions that turn a holiday weekend into a fight for survival.
