Storyline Edit. As our national security team scrambles to respond, 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.

We are never stronger than when we are tested. Rated R for strong violence and language throughout. Did you know Edit. Trivia In the special features, it mentions that the attack on the White House was planned by former Secret Service agents who were asked how they would attack it if they had to. Goofs The intruding Gunship shoots down both planes sent to intercept it. In real life, to avoid incidents like that, one interceptor establishes visual contact with the intruder and flies beside him.

The other plane flies behind the intruder to shoot him down if the first interceptor experiences hostile action. Along with Eckhart and Butler — in one of his best performances in years — there's the always reliable Morgan Freeman , who takes a bit of a demotion from his previous roles as God and a U.

In addition, Angela Bassett is equally convincing as the head of the Secret Service, and Oscar winner Melissa Leo excels as the tough-as-nails secretary of defense, who endures very rough treatment by her North Korean captors. While the head terrorist role could easily have degenerated into a one-dimensional cartoonvillain, Rick Yune is terrific as the chillingly charming — yet completely lethal — Yang, the mastermind of the entire plot. While "Olympus Has Fallen" breaks no major new ground in the political thriller genre, Fuqua has directed a sharp, very taut adventure that keeps you engrossed from start to finish.

It delivers some excellent visuals and a few surprising twists that add beautifully to the suspense. Rated R for strong violence and language throughout. Angela Bassett as Jacobs. Melissa Leo as McMillan. Gerard Butler as Banning. Dylan McDermott as Forbes. Aaron Eckhart as President. Morgan Freeman as Trumbull. Reviews Morgan Freeman isn't pres, but he's next in line.
