It is the first installment in the. For scenes where actors walked in or out of the White House, a first-floor façade and entrance were built; computers added the second floor, roof, and downtown D. There are some moments here that are so incredibly bad that I couldn't help but laugh at them but sadly the film runs way too long to enjoy it as simply an awful movie with laughs. Kang discovers the assault force and activates advanced Hydra 6 anti-aircraft system. Retiring Head of the Presidential Detail -in-Charge Martin Walker brings Sawyer to the. Jamie Foxx, meanwhile, finds more laughs as the President, and the two spend a lot of the film hanging out and bantering with each other under fire.

Meanwhile, mercenaries led by , who had disguised themselves as video technicians to get inside the White House, start killing off all security officers and take the tour group hostage, but Cale manages to take a gun and escape to go find his daughter. White House Down pares down the outside action and begins its assault from inside the building.
Cale and Sawyer manage to reach out to the command structure through a satellite phone Sawyer keeps to communicate with his wife and they tell Cale to get the President out through underground tunnels. A gunfight erupts which results in an explosion that leaves Sawyer and Cale presumed dead. Believing Sawyer dead and that Cale has no proof, Raphelson is tricked into confessing and is arrested for. Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. People will laugh when they're not meant to, mostly because it looks like Tatum and Foxx who, despite what he's said in the press, looks very much like he's doing an impression of an Obama-esque Commander in Chief are having so much fun. John Cale has made mistakes in the past, but now he's committed -- to his daughter, to his country, and to his president even though it's not his job to protect him. In the right place to make a difference, Cale is the sole person inside the White House with the experience to save President Sawyer, but he must also find a way to protect Emily before the terrorists destroy the nation's biggest symbol.
Is the immediate line of presidential secession clearer now that you've seen it played out on screen? The film was released in the United States on March 22, 2013, by. Cale and Sawyer contact the command structure, using Emily's video to discover the mercenaries all formerly worked for government agencies. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Fuqua's direction and Butler's performance, but criticized the violence and screenplay. Now the cop, whose daughter can't really stand him, must try to impress her by saving the day and her favorite President. Biography It is known that Martin Walker had political ambitions before the film's events, since he is the head of Presidential Detail.
It's also one of those explosion-filled summer popcorn movies that make you succumb to the charm of its cast, the humor of the dialogue, and the over-the-top sequences of one man defeating a room of machine gun-armed mercenaries. Martin pressed for military action against Iran as vengeance, but because President James Sawyer enforced peace with Iran, Martin became outraged and therefore he put the film's plot, an assault on the White House, into action in order to fulfill his revenge at the Iranians for killing Kevin. Sawyer attacks a distracted Walker, who ultimately gains the upper hand and uses him to activate the football before supposedly shooting him dead. Surely he didn't make this film as bad as it is without doing it on purpose. That left it unavoidably in the red. Cale also learned that Walker received the launch codes on his pager from Raphelson, so he used the pager to dial the call-back number, exposing Raphelson as the true mastermind behind the attack. This one is bigger: have better actors chewing the scenery and has the trademark crazy action that Emmerich is famous for.
Emmerich began filming in July 2012 at the La Cité Du Cinéma in. Advantage: Look at these casts. Raphelson is sworn in as the 48th President and orders an air strike on the White House. Sure, it's Die Hard on the White House. After Banning disables Kang's communications, Kang tries to execute Ruth McMillan outside the White House in front of the media, but Banning rescues her. Production was scheduled to begin in May 2014 in London, with Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt returning to pen the script. Capitol Policeman John Cale Channing Tatum has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer Jamie Foxx.
All music composed by Olympus Has Fallen Music from the Motion Picture No. Because Olympus Has Fallen was filmed so far from its actual setting of Washington, D. Terrorist forces attack and take over the White House itself in Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down, and cinema would never be the same again. Director Antoine Fuqua, however, did not return due to his commitments on. Emily, while hiding, records a video of the mercenaries and puts in on YouTube before eventually being captured. There are a few hand-to-hand combat scenes and a tense hostage situation in which people some in high levels of the administration are executed or wounded.
Following the deaths of Walker and other mercenaries, it is later revealed that Raphelson was the one who hired Stenz and his mercenaries to help Walker formulate the attack on the White House, since Raphelson actually disagreed on President Sawyer's peace treaty and plots to have Sawyer murdered during the attack, as well as Vice President Hammond, so that he can be the new president and destroy the peace treaty. Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. I always wonder how producers can create these artistic travesties and watch them without realizing how bad they are. Kang seeks to use Asher as a hostage to force U. He falls back into the White House, disabling internal surveillance and gaining access to Asher's satellite ear phone, which he uses to maintain contact with Jacobs and Allan Trumbull , now. Overhearing the radio, Cale locates and rescues Sawyer. Banning confronts Kang, who quickly gains the upper hand, before Banning stabs him in the head and disables Cerberus with the assistance of Trumbull and his staff, with only seconds to spare.
This script in particular, though, is ridiculous both in premise and dialogue. Similarly to movies like , there's lots of violence and an extremely high body count collateral damage , but there are only a few bloody injuries. First of all, the terrorists are not interesting, they are just a bunch of P. Cale and Sawyer try to escape via a secret tunnel but find the exit rigged with explosives. At the command center, Finnerty uses Emily's video to discover the mercenaries' identities, who used to work for various government agencies. Kang eventually cracks Asher's code using a and activates Cerberus. My Take I love both movies equally for different reasons.
