MUMBAI: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!”

Over 20 years since this iconic speech, Star Movies is set to enthrall the Indian Television audience with the sequel to the Independence Day franchise. This 15th of August, Star Movies brings the Indian television premiere of Independence Day: Resurgence.

Independence Day: Resurgence is a story of determination and resilience of the human race. Of course it’s a no holds barred tale of alien invasion, but within it all is a message of unity and togetherness. The movie features a stellar cast, with Liam Hemsworth and Jeff Goldblum, stunning special effects, aliens that strike fear in everyone’s heart! Enhanced weapons, an alien spaceship twice the size of the previous one and space defense mechanisms like ones never imagined before. All of this makes for a cinematic marvel that is Independence Day: Resurgence.

Star Movies will celebrate Independence day with fans through a twitter activity with a campaign based on the spirit of unity, urging fans to Stand Together. A contest where fans from different languages have to come together to decode messages showcasing the unity in diversity which is a cornerstone of Indian Independence. Watch the premiere of Independence Day: Resurgence at 1 PM and 9 PM.
