![]() Where Tim Burton aimed for a more light-hearted and darkly satirical tone, Independence Day treated its own alien menace with gut-punching seriousness. It also confirmed Will Smith - fresh off Michael Bay's Bad Boys - as one of the hottest rising young stars in the entertainment industry. Released five months before Mars Attacks!, Independence Day solidified Roland Emmerich as Hollywood's resident master of disaster (a title he continues to live up to with Moonfall) who showed a knack for juggling intersecting narratives set against the backdrop of an apocalyptic event. The destruction of famous landmarks, an ensemble cast of memorable characters, and Bill Pullman's rousing speech make this film so beloved.
