First Look: ‘Olympus Has Fallen; Trailer and Poster Starring Gerard Butler

The first trailer for Olympus Has Fallen has been released by FilmDistrict showing Gerard Butler as a disgraced Secret Service Agent protecting the US President (Aaron Eckhart) from an attack on the White House. It’s an action-heavy first trailer – and I worry that it gives away a little too much…

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the cast also includes Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Ashley Judd, and Rick Yune.

Olympus Has Fallen is coming to theaters on March 22, 2013.

The Plot:

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 Banning¹s inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President and avert an even bigger disaster.
