Exclusive: new Olympus Has Fallen international trailer
Gerard Butler must reclaim the White House in this rip-roaring new teaser.
The White House is under attack in this explosive new international trailer for ‘Olympus Has Fallen’.
Watch it above.
The presidential residence has a long and glorious history of being shot at and blown up on film, from the UFO laser beam in ‘Independence Day’, to Nightcrawler’s attacks in ‘X-Men 2’.
New film ‘Olympus Has Fallen’ adds to this superb tradition by having terrorists attack the presidential residence for the whole movie, and even blows up the Washington Monument for good measure.
In the film Gerard Butler stars as the disgraced ex-Secret Service agent demoted to a desk job after a tragic accident.
His highly-trained skills come in handy however when the White House, code-named ‘Olympus’ by sunglass-wearing secret service-types, comes under attack by a terrorist mastermind.
When the president’s regular security detail is wiped out, it’s up to Butler to avert an even bigger catastrophe. Aaron Eckhart plays the commander in chief.
‘Olympus Has Fallen’ is released in the UK on 17 April 2013.
