Emmerich’s reputation as the modern master of disaster movies of course began with the blockbuster success of his alien invasion epic Independence Day, which grossed $817 million worldwide in the summer of 1996.

Feb 4, 2022 · Roland Emmerich destroys the world again with “Moonfall,” but this time his heart just isn’t in it. The German nihilist blockbuster filmmaker, who has rarely met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like, has become the “master of disaster” with films like “Independence Day,” and his own global warming epic, “The Day After Tomorrow ...
Feb 16, 2021 · Piecing together a $140M movie without a streamer or traditional big five studio was an epic feat in itself. Key partners include North American distributor Lionsgate, Chinese outfit Huayi as main ...

- Independence Day (1996) Independence Day is the gold standard for disaster movies, with one iconic scene of action after another. Whether it's the image of the UFO's shadow enclosing over New York, or the raging flames that descend through the streets as the aliens execute their attack, there are too many memorable moments to count.
- The Patriot (2000) With The Patriot, Emmerich took a brief hiatus from the disaster genre to film a Revolutionary War epic. Gibson plays a war veteran living in colonial America whose family is torn apart by a brutal British commander, played by Jason Isaacs, against whom he vows to get revenge.
- Stargate (1994) Gifted a budget of $55 million, more than double that of Universal Soldier, Stargate was Emmerich's biggest and most ambitious sci-fi film yet.

- The Day After Tomorrow (2004) If you're seeking the quintessential natural disaster movie, look no further than Emmerich's mid-2000s triumph. "The Day After Tomorrow" has it all: super-sized hail, tsunamis, tornadoes, and polar vortexes that immediately freeze everything in the vicinity.
- Universal Soldier (1992) The first of many collaborations between Emmerich and writer-producer Dean Devlin was an early 90s movie that featured the biggest action movie stars of the day — Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren.
- White House Down (2013) Coincidentally released in the same year as the similarly-themed "Olympus Has Fallen," Emmerich's take on a president-rescue scenario pipped its rival at the box office, but has been largely forgotten since due to its lack of sequels.
- Anonymous (2011) You'd be forgiven for thinking that both of Emmerich's forays into historical drama movies must be equally bad, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
Feb 4, 2022 · This movie rules. An earthquake sends Los Angeles sliding into the sea. An alien superweapon obliterates the White House (and several other landmarks) in spectacular fashion. Godzilla, uh, dodges some missiles that end up destroying the Chrysler Building. Whatever the disaster is, it’s a pretty safe bet that Roland Emmerich is involved.
