Let's hope life does not imitate art in this little scenario.
Bearing a striking resemblance to events fast unfolding in the world, Olympus Has Fallen is an edge-of- the-seat thriller.
North Korea is one of the world's most despised and feared nations, with a trigger-happy anti-American leader at itshelm.
But what would happen if North Korean terrorists stormed the White House and kidnapped the president?
Disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) lives and breathes the life of a secret service man but he was removed from the president's detail after an accident 18 months earlier.
From the window of his new office, Banning watches events unfold at the White House as 40 heavily armed North Korean militia storm the fortress, killing everyone in their way.
Banning is not going to simply watch as this happens and gets there in time to exact as much damage as he can. Making his way inside the White House before the invaders can fully secure it, Banning is the only man left alive inside who can help the president and the other hostages.
Using his intimate knowledge of the White House and his special ops training, he is able to slowly make his way around the militia men and get the upper hand.
But his enemies are clever and dangerous and would rather die before giving up on their mission.
With bodies mounting around him, Banning must make his move before the North Koreans can take control of the US nuclear arsenal and cause horrific damage.
Olympus Has Fallen has an authentic feel to it and doesn't back away from horrific violence.
But once the terrorists launch their raid, strap yourself in for two hours of action, drama and suspense.
