    Storyline

    Edit
    Capitol Policeman John Cale has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer. Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House, when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation's government falling into chaos and time running out, it's up to Cale to save the president, his daughter, and the country. —ahmetkozan

    • Trivia
      Apart from a couple of second unit shots of Washington DC and one scene shot in a park, all filming took place on sound stages in Montreal, Canada, with extensive blue screen techniques used to create the "world" around each set where required.
    • Goofs
      In the film, the president opens the passenger side window in his presidential limousine as to launch the missile launcher. In reality, the driver's window is the only one that can be opened partially. None of the windows in the passenger compartment can be opened for security and protection reasons.
    • Quotes

      President Sawyer: Martin, as the President of the United States, this comes with the full weight, power and authority of my office. Fuck you.

    Original? Nope. Decent? Sure. Entertaining? Yep!
    Awesome action, with 2 strong leads borders on comedy, but allows the actors to play off each other and showcase their skills. Not to mention a much more entertaining takeover sequence than "Olympus Has Fallen", or at least more thought out.
