Independence Day was the movie that turned Smith into an international box office star, and his omission in the film is explained by a still photograph of a jet explosion. …

German-born filmmaker Roland Emmerich is sometimes referred to as “the master of disaster,” after directing a string of blockbuster disaster films like Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Day After Tomorrow, a global warming horror film released in 2004.
