It’s that time of year when blurry photos of movie posters start to spread like a wild fire thanks to expos, cons, and other such shit. So kicking things off in appropriately destructive fashion is Roland Emmerich’s INDEPENDENCE DAY 2, but more than just a peek at some early artwork, we actually have a synopsis for the film, so dig right in!

Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Landing in theaters on June 24, 2016, INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 stars Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Liam Hemsworth, Maika Monroe, Jessie Usher, Joey King, Sela Ward, Brent Spiner, Vivica A. Fox, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Judd Hirsch.
