Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDue to scheduling conflicts, Morgan Freeman and Gerard Butler don't appear in the same scene together in person. The scene in the hallway at the White House uses body doubles, and doesn't show faces.
- GoofsIn the movie, the two helicopters accompanying Marine One are called Marine Two and Three. In real life, Marine One is the call sign of any US Marine Corps aircraft the President is traveling in. Marine Two is the call sign of any US Marine Corps aircraft carrying the Vice President. Marine Three is not used as it is never ruled-out of what the US's third-highest (after President and Vice-President) political office is.
- Quotes
Benjamin Asher: [after Banning kills a terrorist as his brother listens via radio] Was that necessary?
Mike Banning: No.
Featured review
Suspend your disbelief - it's only a movie
I enjoyed this film for what it is - yes, none of it's really that plausible, and yes, it's riddled with as many holes in the plot as there are bullet holes the President's Land Rover. Oh, and yes, it's one sided and terribly patriotic - if you're an American - but remember, it's only a film, and a Hollywood Tinsel Town film at that.
Significantly perhaps, as I watched The President face up to the plot against him, I kept wondering... "what would Donald do in such circumstances?" Let's hope he's not taking notes.
The naysayer membership here at IMDb who gave this film 1/10 are missing the point entirely. Like most of what is spewed out by Hollywood, it's all fiction and fantasy held together by as much implausibility as the producers can get away with, and I think most intelligent audiences will get that.
Ah, but "what about the less intelligent movie goer?" you might ask. Well, dress it up as much as you like and these people will never get the irony of such a picture. They've also probably made up their minds as to who's side they're on anyway - and no liberal, limp-wristed Hollywood alternative will convince them they're backing the wrong team.
So I encourage you to watch "London Has Fallen" if you get the chance, and if you can, enjoy your place in the Free World to make up your own mind...
