[projekktor id=’23281′]

London Has Fallen is the sequel to 2013’s Olympus Has Fallen. Directed by Babak Najafi, the film stars Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Alon Moni Aboutboul, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, and Melissa Leo.

When the British Prime Minster dies unexpectedly, Agent Banning (Gerard Butler) knows it is his duty to prep with Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs (Angela Bassett) for them to accompany President Asher (Aaron Eckhart) to the state funeral at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. With every powerful world leader set to attend, the funeral should be the most protected event on Earth. Yet within moments of arriving, heads of government are assassinated and London landmarks are attacked. Asher, Banning, and Jacobs are ambushed and retreat amidst a hail of gunfire and explosives. Tasked by Jacobs with keeping Asher safe, Banning must go off the grid and under the radar to stay one step ahead of lethal arms dealer Aamir Barkawi.

Angela Bassett think’s attributes the series’ success to Butler’s “everyman quality. You want to see him win. Gerard has a great, very wry sense of humor and he brings that into the make-up of the Banning character. He is the guy all guys want to be, and of course the girls like him rather a lot too.”

London Has Fallen is rated 14A.
