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.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is fundamentally centered around an alien invasion during the Fourth of July weekend. There is absolutely no connection to Christmas in terms of setting, plot, theme, or iconography."
