Synopsis

Gerard Butler must save the US President in this bullet-strewn action movie! When The White House is attacked by a terrorist mastermind posing as a foreign delegate, America is brought to its knees! Suddenly the skies are filled with invading aircraft and a national crisis unfolds. President Asher (Aaron Eckhart) is himself taken hostage by the villain known as Kang (Rick Yune) - and threatened with execution if the terrorists' demands are not met. Anxiously keeping track of events are the Secret Service, headed up by Lynne Jacobs (Angela Bassett), and Acting President Trumbull (Morgan Freeman). As they come to terms with this devastating, shocking attack on America, they're unexpectedly contacted by Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler). Mike ended up being trapped inside The White House during the time of the attack - and becomes a secret weapon in the struggle to save the President. A man haunted by terrible memories, this is Mike's chance at redemption - and he's the only hope anyone's got!
