Description: **Olympus Has Fallen (2013) Movie Overview**
**Plot Summary:**
Former U.S. Army Ranger Mike Banning serves as a Secret Service Agent and head of the Presidential Protection Division, sharing a close bond with President Benjamin Asher, First Lady Margaret, and their son Connor. During a snowy Christmas drive from Camp David to a campaign event, the presidential limo spins out of control on an icy bridge. Banning manages to save President Asher, but Margaret tragically loses her life.
Eighteen months later, Banning works at the Treasury Department after being removed from the presidential detail. During a meeting at the White House between President Asher and South Korean Prime Minister Lee Tae-Woo, a North Korean terrorist group called the Koreans for United Freedom (KUF), led by Kang Yeonsak, launches a coordinated air and ground assault. With assistance from rogue members of the prime minister’s security team, including ex-Secret Service Agent Dave Forbes, they seize the White House, killing much of its defense force and taking Asher and other top officials hostage.
Before his death, Agent Roma alerts Secret Service Director Lynne Jacobs with the code phrase, “Olympus has fallen.” Banning joins the fight during the initial attack and infiltrates the White House, disabling internal surveillance and using President Asher’s satellite communication device to contact Jacobs and acting President Allan Trumbull in the Pentagon. With their authorization, Banning takes action to thwart the terrorists’ plans.
Kang leverages Asher’s captivity to force Trumbull to withdraw U.S. military forces from the Korean Peninsula, clearing the way for a second Korean War. Simultaneously, Kang aims to detonate the American nuclear arsenal, seeking vengeance for his parents’ deaths by turning North America into a radioactive wasteland.
