In an unexpected partnership, the U.S. Army and 20th Century Fox teamed up to create an immersive website experience. The goal was twofold: promote the film, Independence Day: Resurgence and introduce fans to unexpected Army careers that relate to the site’s video game challenges.
Fans are first asked to join the Earth Space Defense (ESD), the fictional military military force in the movie. Upon “enlisting,” you complete 4 missions to determine your strengths, unlock exclusive movie content, and learn about relevant jobs the real U.S. Army. You can also create teams to compete against other teams and unlock even more bonus content.
