Olympus Has Fallen is the 2013 action movie. It was released on March 22, 2013 and was written by Creighton Rothenberger & Katrin Benedikt and directed by Antoine Fuqua.
In this film, disgraced Secret Service agent and former Presidential guard Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) must battle a well-equipped North Korean terrorist group, led by brutal mastermind Kang Yeonsak (Rick Yune), who have seized the White House and hold US President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and other high-ranking officials hostage. Banning must use his inside knowledge of the White House and all his training to fight through the terrorists and save President Asher, the president's son Connor (Finley Jacobsen) and avert an even bigger threat. Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) and others in The Pentagon try to handle the situation.
