Battle: Los Angeles

In Battle: Los Angeles (2011), a U.S. Marine staff sergeant and his squad confront an alien invasion that has decimated Los Angeles. With no higher command and only each other for support, they must navigate the shattered cityscape, battling an unseen enemy equipped with superior technology. The film strips military action to its core, eschewing grand spectacle for a grim, intimate portrayal of survival and duty in a world turned utterly hostile.
