Independents' Day is a 2016 science fiction action film made by The Asylum. It is a mockbuster of the 1996 film Independence Day and its 2016 sequel Independence Day: Resurgence.

Plot
The alien Orions attack the planet as humans are deemed too violent. After blowing up many of the Earth's capital cities, they then heal many of the sick and offer to transport them; those who are hungry and others who wanted to go to another planet and many of the earthlings volunteer to go. An "Earth First" militia forms to fight the aliens, while the US Vice President (as the aliens have killed the President) negotiates with the aliens. The plot was noted to be convoluted.
