Independence Day is a blatant rip off of other, better, SF stories. Particularly elements of Clarke's Childhoods End and Niven/Pournelle's Footfall are blatantly stolen for this (fun to watch) mish mash.

Not an original thought in anyone head involved with this movie, but it was fun.

mmmmmm .... seems to me that someone with a Apple laptop, without a network connection, could upload a virus into the mainframe of an alien spaceship from millions of light years away was pretty original.  Stupid and impossible, but original.
