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.

Stupid and impossible, but original.
