Olympus Has Fallen

Olympus Has Fallen (2013) is an Antoine Fuqua action thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Mike Banning used to guard the President. Now he pushes paper at the Treasury, until armed commandos seize the White House in broad daylight.

Gerard Butler plays Banning, Aaron Eckhart the captured President. A North Korean paramilitary cell led by Kang storms the grounds, drags the President into the bunker and demands America pull its fleet from the Pacific. Trapped inside alone, Banning knows every hallway and every blind spot the attackers don't. Outside, the Speaker of the House (Morgan Freeman) runs the crisis from the Pentagon and waits on the one man still inside.

Fuqua builds a tight siege movie with the bones of an old Die Hard: cramped corridors, a ticking clock, almost no breathing room. The cast also features Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo and Dylan McDermott. For a lean one-against-an-army thriller, stream Olympus Has Fallen online on iFILM.
