After a failed attempt to save First Lady Margaret Asher, disgraced Secret Service agent Mike Banning must take action after a North Korean terrorist group seize control of the White House. Banning uses his inside knowledge to rescue President Benjamin Asher from his kidnappers.

London Has Fallen (2016)

During the funeral of the British Prime Minister in London, the city is attacked by a large army of Islamic terrorists, killing five world leaders, damaging major landmarks and generating mass panic, masterminded by Pakistani arms dealer and terrorist leader Aamir Barkawi. When President Benjamin Asher gets kidnapped by the terrorists, Secret Service agent Mike Banning must once again save President Asher.

Mike Banning is framed for the attempt to assassinate President Allan Trumbull by a rogue private military company and must race against time to clear his name while uncovering the real threat.

In November 2019, Alan Siegel announced that three additional Has Fallen films are in development.[1] In November 2020, the fourth film, titled Night Has Fallen, was given the greenlight with Butler confirmed to reprise his role as Mike Banning in addition to serving as producer.

Television

In November 2019, it was announced that multiple television series spin-offs were being developed. Because of the film series' popularity in other territories, it was announced that plans include various television series to debut in foreign countries, with the idea being that each show's local mother tongues will be the spoken languages.
