Summary

Description: David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) shares a laugh with President Whitmore (Bill Pullman) and holds up a cigar in the Nevada desert near the film's end, moments after the alien mothership is destroyed. His wristwatch, a light dial on a dark strap with gold-toned edging, is visible on his raised wrist.
