What you're about to watch is Gerard Butler — far removed from his bearded days as Leonidas — attempting to save the President of the United States. You're going to hear a lot of bad one-liners, but in all honesty, if you take Olympus Has Fallen for what it is, it doesn't look like a bad action movie. Add in Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman and you have a really good cast, as well.
The synopsis for Olympus Has Fallen is:
When the White House (Secret Service Code: “Olympus”) is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning’s inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President, and avert an even bigger disaster.
