Olympus Has Fallen - 2013

Olympus Has Fallen is a 2013 American political action thriller film directed and co-produced by Antoine Fuqua from a screenplay written by Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt, and is the first installment in the Has Fallen film series. The film stars Gerard Butler (who also co-produced), Aaron Eckhart, and Morgan Freeman with Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, Cole Hauser, Ashley Judd, Melissa Leo, Dylan McDermott, Radha Mitchell, and Rick Yune in supporting roles.

The plot depicts a North Korean-led guerrilla assault on the White House, and focuses on disgraced Secret Service agent Mike Banning's efforts to rescue U.S. President Benjamin Asher.

The film was released in the United States on March 22, 2013, by FilmDistrict, and grossed $170 million against a $70 million production budget. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Fuqua's direction and Butler's performance, but criticized the overt violence and screenplay. Olympus Has Fallen was one of two films released in 2013 that depicted a terrorist attack against the White House; the other was White House Down, which was released three months later.

A sequel, titled London Has Fallen, was released on March 4, 2016, with the principal cast members reprising their roles. A third film, Angel Has Fallen, was released on August 23, 2019.

Mike Banning, a former U.S. Army Ranger, serves as a Secret Service agent and detail leader within the Presidential Protection Division. He cultivates a warm, personal bond with President Benjamin Asher, First Lady Margaret, and their son, Connor. Tragedy strikes during a snowy Christmas drive from Camp David, the Presidential Limousine, carrying the First Family, loses control on an icy bridge after a falling tree branch causes an accident. Banning manages to rescue President Asher, but the limo falls off the bridge, killing Margaret.

Eighteen months later, Banning finds himself reassigned to the Treasury Department, a consequence of his removal from the prestigious presidential detail. Meanwhile, at the White House, President Asher's meeting with South Korean Prime Minister Lee Tae-Woo is interrupted when North Korean terrorists, under the command of Kang Yeonsak, launch a coordinated assault, aiming to seize control of the White House. Aided by ex-Secret Service agent-turned-private security contractor Dave Forbes, the terrorists hold Asher and several top officials hostage in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), executing Lee on live video for the world to witness their power. Before being killed, Agent Roma alerts the Pentagon.
