Olympus Has Fallen

In the honored tradition of action-packed films, like Die Hard and Rambo, comes the newest shoot-em up film from Antoine Fuqua called Olympus Has Fallen
Set in the present day, this thrilling epic features our main hero Mike Banning (played by who else than Gerard Butler from 300) as the President's head Secret Service officer.

(The President himself is played by Aaron Eckhart; aka Harvey Dent from the Dark Knight, the First Lady being Ashley Judd).
Banning was the top dog of the White House security, and all it took was one car accident gone horribly wrong thus resulting in the demise of the First Lady, and subsequently; Banning's expulsion from the Service
A few days later after the incident; things are back and running at Washington; only to have impending doom arrive in the form of commando terrorrists lead by a brutal warmonger (Rick Yune from Man with the Iron Fists) who holds the entire White House hostage for -what else?- money and power. If the government refuses...well, let's just say they'll need 2 new replacements for the President and First Lady. Not if our hero Banning has anything to say about it!

While Speaker Trumbull (Morgan Freeman, the Dark Knight trilogy) and Secret Service director Lynn Jacobs (Angela Bassett, Green Lantern) try to negotiate with the unruly White House gatecrashers, Banning decides to take matters into his own hands and bring the thugs down- by lethal methods, if the circumstances seem necessary.

Featuring Dylan McDermott, Melissa Leo (The Fighter) and Radha Mitchell (Surrogates) and some explosive special effects, Olympus Has Fallen is the MUST-SEE action flick for Spring Break! Olympus Has Fallen explodes into theatres nationwide March 22nd.
