Independence day: resurgence plot details

(sorry, I missed the first page. Here is a brief summary of what I remember: page one introduced new and old characters,
it said that the movie is set 20 years after the first movie ended, will smith's character died a few years ago,
humans have rebuilt and advanced farther than ever using alien tech, suddenly one day a wormhole opens up near the moon and an alien ship comes through,
we blast the ever loving shit out of it with our reverse-engineered alien weaponry, alien ship debris land on the moon, we decide to up some guys to check it out
oh and whitmore is starting to have visions of alien symbols)

Determined to find out about the mysterious spaceship that entered the wormhole, David recruits young fighter pilots Jake (Liam
Hemsworth) and Dylan (Jesse Usher) to investigate the destroyed spaceship, all against strict orders of the White House. There is
visible tension between Jake and Dylan, who stubbomly holds a grudge against Jake for his father's death. Patricia, knowing about
her father ex-President Whitmore's strange visions, tries to persuade her fiancée Jake not to embark on this perilous mission, but
Jake is as determined as David to know the truth and goes ahead anyway. On the moon, they locate the spaceship and find symbols
identical to the ones in Whitmore's visions. After grabbing a piece of the wreckage, they launch off the moon's surface when
suddenly - another wormhole opens up near them! This time, a gargantuan spaceship of epic proportions emerges- and it is
exponentially larger than the alien ship of '96. The President orders to fire at the ship, narrowly missing Jake's aircraft, but our most
powerful weapons have virtually no effect on the mothership, which continues to head towards Earth at breakneck speed - another
attack on the 4th of July!
Meanwhile on Earth, Dr. Okun (Brent Spiner) has woken in Area 51 from a 20-year coma and is having the same visions as
Whitmore. He wants to speak to one of the aliens that have been held captive in an alien prison in Area 51 since the last attack to
find out why they're coming back to Earth again. Since the aliens can't talk, they can only communicate by touching a tentacle to a
human and sending their thoughts through the person. Dr. Okun uses former President Whitmore as the mouthpiece for this
interrogation, but all the alien says is “She is back... Feed and grow... Your planet...’ It becomes evident that the aliens are retuming
to reap what they failed to harvest 20 years ago.
With only 22 minutes before the ship reaches Earth's surface, the world breaks into panic. The alien mothership is so massive that it
has its own gravity! Earth falls into its gravitational field and objects start to ‘lose’ gravity. At first, people are sucked into the skies
and cars are pulled from the ground. As the ship moves closer, it literally rips buildings out of the ground and we see bridges flying
into oblivion - it's utter chaos. The whole city of Singapore flies up into the air! Meanwhile, Jake and his crew are racing through the
debris to retum and tell the White House about the wormholes and the mysterious symbol. Suddenly, the mothership's gravity
reverses and everything starts falling back to earth! Patricia watches on in disbelief as her fiancée Jake literally dodges a falling Big
Ben and the Burj Khalifa tower of Dubai collapsing onto Paris, all while tumbling through the sky.



When Jake finally steers the aircraft back to Earth and safely lands, Patricia sprints over to him- slapping him for not listening to her
and then giving him a huge kiss, joyous that he is not dead. David, joined by his father Julius (Judd Hirsch), immediately brings the
artifacts to the lab at Area 51 for Dr. Okun to inspect it, but it is too late. The alien mothership has already landed and begun drilling
into the Earth's molten core: the source of the energy it came to harvest. The impact of the mothership's landing in the Atlantic
Ocean sends ripples all over the world, propelling gigantic tsunamis of hundreds of feet towards the East Coast.
Meanwhile, David has been studying the behavior of aliens on an infra-red detection screen, and discovers that the aliens are
structured like a beehive - all of the lowly fighters they've encountered so far are being controlled by a Queen Alien, a hideous,
gargantuan creature represented by a giant red dot on the infra-red screen. At this point, David realizes that they can only defeat the
aliens by defeating the Queen. In order to do so, they must improvise something similar to David's plan 20 years ago: first, they must
drop cold fusion bombs using a convoy of drones to distract the aliens and lead the Queen in the wrong direction. Then, Dylan and
Jake will lead a fleet of military fighters flying cutting-edge ships to destroy the Queen from behind enemy lines. The two pilots
continue to quarrel over their disagreements but inevitably agree to join forces on the perilous mission for the greater good.
The attack is launched and the plan is set into motion. The fusion bombs are dropped, instantly evaporating the alien fighter shields
on impact. Chinese and Russian fighterjets swoop in and engage the aliens in airfare combat, dodging and maneuvering laser beams
in acrobatic fashion. This creates the perfect distraction for Dylan and Jake, who lead the charge into the alien mothership. All of a
sudden, however, their lights and power go out, and they start falling, out of control, into the belly of the mothership - the Queen has
deliberately lead them there to destroy them! Dylan manages to jimmy the lights on his jet during the fall and catches a glimpse of
the 200 feet tall beast looming over all of the hopeless human fighters. David can't believe that they have taken bait to the Queen's
trap - it has yet again outsmarted them! - while Dylan and Jake realize they need to set aside their frictions and work together to
save themselves out of this giant alien ship before the Queen attacks.
Back at Area 51, Dr. Okun and ex-President Whitmore are working their magic on the wreckage of the first spaceship and they
discover a shattering truth about the universe, but it all seems to be happening too late. The aliens that have been imprisoned since
the first attack in 1996 have risen up and broken free to join the fight and protect their Queen. Time is ticking, and unless an
incredible concerted effort sparks a miracle to overcome the alien ambush, it will be doomsday for all the helpless people on Earth...
