    Storyline

    Edit

    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
      Mike hasn't been to the White House in 18 months, yet all of the lock codes are the same.
    • Quotes

      Mike Banning: [to Kang] Why don't you and I play a game of fuck off. You go first.

    • Alternate versions
      The edited for TNT/TBS cable TV version aside from the usual language and violence edits most notably hackneys its edit for the part where Mike (Gerard Butler) stabs Kang (Rick Yune) in the head. Instead, the viewer witnesses Mike about to stab and then it cuts straight to Kang's body ceasing to move making it unclear that Kang was stabbed let alone where.

    Action packed. Expected storyline.
    What a dumb, fun, entertaining movie this is. There really is no real story in this movie, other than an attack on the White House. Then it's just straight up "Die Hard" after that, and it's so beautiful to finally get to see a good "Die Hard" movie again. Gerard Butler plays Mike Banning, who is basically just British John McClane. And then we have Aaron Eckhart as Benjamin Asher, the POTUS and Morgan Freeman as Allan Trumbull, the public speaker. They are very good too. This is just a very dumb action movie, and those are the kind of movies that I really love to watch.
