White House Down finds a policeman (Channing Tatum) getting turned down for a job at the White House on the same day the US is attacked by terrorists. And, of course, it soon becomes his duty to make sure the President of the United States (played by Jamie Foxx) gets out of the situation alive.
Although the plot’s similar to that of Olympus Has Fallen, White House Down seems to have more comedy/one-liners than the first 2013 film about terrorists destroying the White House.
Directed by Roland Emmerich, White House Down opens in theaters on June 28, 2013.
The Plot:
Capitol Policeman John Cale (Tatum) has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Foxx). Not wanting to let down his little girl with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation’s government falling into chaos and time running out, it’s up to Cale to save the president, his daughter, and the country.
