Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart in “London Has Fallen.”

“London Has Fallen,” directed by Babak Nijaf and released March 4, picks up at an unspecified amount of time after the events of the movie “Olympus Has Fallen,” which came out in 2013.

Some of the key players In “Olympus Has Fallen,” that, in my opinion made both movies soar to the top of the game in regards to box office success, have reprized their roles in “London Has Fallen”; Mike Banning, played by Gerard Butler, is head of the Presidential Protection Division for U.S. President Benjamin Asler, played by Aaron Eckhart, and former Speaker of the House, now Vice President Allan Trumbull, played by Morgan Freeman.

This sequel starts off with Banning writing a resignation letter to the president, but he never finishes writing the request. The British prime minister dies suddenly, and several leaders from around the world are to attend the funeral in London.

Extra security measures were taken to protect the leaders of the free world at this event, but mercenaries, masterminded by one of the FBI’s most wanted arms dealer/terrorist, wreak havoc in London.

In the midst of all the destruction and killing plaguing the city around him, Banning’s job is to get the president out of London before it’s too late. Fueled by the hatred for western world leaders and their way of life, the terrorists lay siege to London. This bloody battle includes many iconic London landmarks and bridges.
