Olympus Has Fallen

Mike Banning, the head of the President's detail for the Secret Service, is disgraced during an accident which involves the death of First Lady Margaret Asher. Blaming himself, Banning resigns his position to work at the US Treasury.

Months later, during a meeting between President Asher and Minister Lee of South Korea, an unidentified aircraft approaches the White House. The Secret Service rushes Asher, his Cabinet, and Minister Lee to the President's Bunker. An aerial and ground attack destroys the White House and Kang, head of security for Minister Lee, steps up as the leader of the operation.

The US national security team scrambles to respond but when the Pentagon, Navy Seals, Blackhawks and all else fail they are forced to rely on Banning's inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President and avert an even bigger disaster.

Acclaimed filmmaker Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day") directs the thrilling action flick, starring Gerard Butler ("Machine Gun Preacher", "Law Abiding Citizen", "300") in the title role of Mike Banning. The film also stars Aaron Eckhart ("The Dark Knight", "The Black Dahlia") as President Asher; Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby", "The Shawshank Redemption") as the perfectly composed and respected leader Speaker Trumbull and Ashley Judd ("Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood") as First Lady Margaret Asher. The film was written by Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt.
