Olympus Has Fallen

• Action
• Thriller

A visceral and relentlessly paced action thriller, *Olympus Has Fallen* distinguishes itself not through inventive plot twists, but through a raw, grounded portrayal of a national security breach. The film delivers a tightly-focused, claustrophobic experience as a disgraced Secret Service agent, uniquely positioned with intimate knowledge of the White House infrastructure, becomes the last line of defense against a coordinated terrorist attack. It's a desperate, hour-by-hour struggle for survival within a recognizable, iconic location made terrifyingly vulnerable, leaning into a pragmatic and brutal realism uncommon in the genre. The narrative isn’t concerned with geopolitical nuance but focuses on the immediate, frantic efforts to reclaim control and the harrowing choices made under immense pressure, culminating in a desperate attempt to prevent a catastrophic escalation.
