Story About :
Battle: Los Angeles On August 12, 2011, large masses thought to be meteors land in the oceans near almost every major coastal city on Earth. The objects are discovered to be spacecraft containing hostile extraterrestrial soldiers, who immediately begin killing all humans they encounter. Marines from Camp Pendleton arrive in Los Angeles, including Staff Sgt. Michael Nantz, a 20-year veteran who had lost his squad during his most recent tour in Iraq. Nantz was officially to begin his retirement; but because of the alien invasion, is instead made the acting platoon sergeant for a Marine infantry platoon.Under the command of 2nd Lt. William Martinez, the platoon arrives at Santa Monica Airport, now a Forward Operating Base. The alien ground forces have no apparent air support, as the Air Force prepares to carpet bomb the Santa Monica area. The platoon is tasked with rescuing civilians from an LAPD police station in West Los Angeles before the bombing. As they advance through the city, they are ambushed and suffer casualties. A group of Army National Guard soldiers from the 40th Infantry Division, and an Air Force intelligence TSgt., Elena Santos, having escaped hostile action that killed their comrades, team up with the platoon. At the police station, the platoon finds five civilians: veterinarian Michele, children Hector Rincon, Kirsten, Amy, and Hector's father Joe. A helicopter arrives to evacuate the wounded Marines, but cannot rescue the civilians due to weight restrictions. As the helicopter takes off, it is destroyed by collision with an alien aircraft.The Marines commandeer a city bus for evacuation. They also torture a wounded alien in order to find a vulnerable spot, and discover a vital heart-like organ that they can use as a target. After Nantz manages to bring down one of the alien aircraft, they quickly realize the ships are remote-controlled drones that track human radio transmissions. Santos reveals that her original mission was to locate the aliens' central command center, believing that its destruction would deactivate the drones. On the I-10 freeway, the bus comes under attack. Because the off-ramp is destroyed, the Marines rappel the civilians off the freeway. Marines Stavrou and Mottola and the National Guard personnel are killed, while Rincon and Lt. Martinez are wounded. Martinez sacrifices himself to destroy an advancing enemy unit by detonating explosives inside the bus, leaving Nantz in command.
