Battle: Los Angeles trailer

For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – such as in places like Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany and China.

But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces.

As people everywhere watch the world's great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected.

It's up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they've ever encountered before.

The Sony film, estimated to have a budget of about $100 million, will be released in Australia on March 17.
