Independence Day - 20th Anniversary Edition

Let freedom reign with the newly minted and restored 2-disc Blu-ray release of the now modern day sci-fi epic "ID4 Independence Day" the 20th Anniversary Edition. Director Roland Emmerich's film would revolutionize the summer blockbuster and usher in a new age of event filmmaking. "ID4" took a series of familiar film genres, the science-fiction movie, alien invasion and disaster flick, and turned them on their ear, redefining them for the next generation of fandom!

A well-coordinated, world-wide attack by an aggressive alien force, brings together the planet when there is no other choice but to retaliate and launch Earth's offensive to repel the invaders on Independence Day! Featuring an all-star cast including Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Randy Quaid and Vivica A. Fox, "ID4" wowed audiences with its state-of-the-art effects and character driven adventure.

A hit with theater-goers the movie made a film star of Will Smith the then still-emerging name became an instant big-screen draw, in a role that was passed up by Ethan Hawke. Arguably the film would lead to Smith's subsequent dominance over the "July 4th Summer Blockbuster" box-office for several years after. Strangely the star will be absent from the upcoming sequel "Independence Day: Resurgence" which arrives in theaters later this summer.

In the meantime get caught up on the original! The feature has been fully restored for Blu-ray presentation and this 20th Anniversary Edition features both the Theatrical Cut and the rarely seen Extended Version; both will have you hotly anticipating the next alien invasion! The bonus disc is packed with special features, including an all-new documentary celebrating the making of the film, a gag reel and director's commentary.

No home theater collection is complete without "Independence Day" and with this 20th anniversary release, it's never looked better!
