Independence Day is a combat flight simulator video game based on the 1996 film of the same name. The game was developed by Radical Entertainment, published by Fox Interactive and distributed by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation and Sega Saturn. The game's story is only loosely based on that of the movie. The City Destroyers have positioned themselves over the world's major cities, preparing to destroy them. The beginning of the game takes place directly after the canyon chase from the film, however, in the game the plane and Attacker don't crash. The mission is to take out all the City Destroyers, and finally fire a nuke into the Mothership's core.
