Battle: Los Angeles (also known as Battle: LA and World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles, and formerly known as Battle for Los Angeles) is a 2011 action science fiction film directed by Jonathan Liebesman, and starring Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Peña, Nzinga Blake, Ne-Yo, David Pham, Ramon Rodriguez and Bridget Moynahan. Released in March 2011, the film is set in modern day Los Angeles and follows a platoon of U.S. Marines during a global alien invasion. The events of the film are inspired by the Battle of Los Angeles, a supposed World War II air raid of the city which turned out to be a false alarm caused by several unidentified objects
On August 11, 2011, mysterious objects thought to be meteorites crash into Earth’s oceans near several major cities. These objects are revealed to be spacecraft, containing hostile alien forces. The U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton arrive in Los Angeles to defend against alien ground forces and assist in the evacuation of civilians, in preparation for a bombing campaign. Among the military’s forces are Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart), a U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant who had planned to retire, and his new platoon.
Nantz is assigned to the platoon immediately before the battle. He had previously led another platoon in Iraq, which suffered heavy casualties in an incident that was supposedly Nantz’s fault. One of the Marines killed in this incident was the brother of Corporal Jason Lockett (Cory
Hardrict), a member of Nantz’s new platoon.
The Platoon Commander, 2nd Lieutenant William Martinez (Ramón Rodríguez), attends a briefing at a FOB (Forward Operating Base). The platoon’s mission is to rescue civilians from a LAPD police station with a three-hour time limit before the Air Force bombs the area. They are ambushed by aliens multiple times and suffer casualties. They also encounter a group of U.S. Army soldiers from the 40th Infantry Division, including an Air Force intelligence Technical Sergeant Elena Santos (Michelle Rodriguez). Eventually, the combined team reaches the police station, finding five civilians inside. A helicopter arrives and attempts to evacuate some of the wounded Marines, but it is destroyed by the aliens upon takeoff.
The amount of casualties demoralizes Martinez. Nantz advises him that a leader cannot afford to regret his decisions. Martinez regains confidence and attempts to find a way back to the FOB before time runs out. Two Marines commandeer a bus for evacuation. During this ordeal, the Marines learn of the aliens’ weaknesses and military tactics, finding that alien infantry have a weak point in the torso, which is a sac filled with water, and that the alien aircraft are remote-controlled drones. The Marines speculate that there must be a central command center, and that the destruction of this command center would cripple the enemy forces.
On the freeway, the Marines find that the road has been damaged and are forced to stop the bus. They come under heavy fire and begin rappelling the civilians off the side of the freeway. One of the civilians, Joe Rincon (Michael Peña), is wounded after firing on the aliens. Martinez is also wounded and sacrifices himself by detonating explosives inside the bus shortly after placing Nantz in command of the platoon.
Nantz leads what remains of the platoon outside the bombing zone, and they rest at a convenience store. A news report speculates that the aliens have attacked Earth for its water supply. The team waits for the bombing to begin, but nothing happens. They arrive at the FOB, only to discover that it has already been destroyed by the aliens, nullifying the airstrike. They decide to head for another extraction point, where a helicopter should be available to evacuate them. Rincon dies, and Lockett questions Nantz’s ability to command. Nantz convinces Lockett that he deeply regrets the incident in Iraq, and that he is capable of leading the team.
The team takes armored vehicles from the base and uses them to reach the new extraction point. As they are being evacuated, Nantz spots a large black area on the ground, where electric power seems to be disabled. Nantz believes the black area to be the location of the alien command center, and that it is hidden underground. Nantz’s platoon disembarks from the helicopter, planning to find the exact location of the command center so they can call in a missile strike.
Going underground, the Marines confirm the presence of a large alien vessel. They return to the surface and succeed in calling in a missile strike. However, the command center remains intact, and rises from the ground. The Marines repel alien forces as more missiles are launched at the hovering command center, however the command center is protected by alien drones. The Marines destroy a drone with an AT-4 rocket launcher, preventing it from intercepting another missile. The missile hits and destroys the command center. Both the command center and the remaining drones crash to the ground, and alien ground forces begin to retreat
Soon after, the team is extracted to a temporary base in the Mojave Desert, where they are greeted as heroes for their outstanding bravery. All other cities under attack now plan to emulate their strategy, destroying the alien command center in each city. More forces are being sent to Los Angeles to finish off the aliens there. Despite orders to rest, Nantz and the platoon instead rejoin the fight
