A tongue-in-cheek sci-fi action film that riffs on alien invasion tropes with a playful, patriotic tone and moderate spectacle.

Aliens invade, this time delivering a clear ultimatum. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance as the U.S. President and citizens decide if these aliens are to be trusted… or feared.
