The movie starts In a Tent in Pakistan, where the
terrorist mastermind Aamir Barkawi is reported by one of locals, who
was attending the wedding. Aamir is responsible for a bombing in
Europe.
The US government locates his compound and launches a drone strike
against that area, thinking that they will get him because of the
information they got from that person on the ground helping them.
Two years later, President Benjamin Asher and his friend and top
Secret Service agent, Mike Banning, are jogging together, having a
good time. Mike starts talking about baby names because he and wife
were expecting their first kid. Then, the President gets back to his
office and there waiting for him is the Director of the Secret
Service, Lynn Jacobs, who informs the President that the Prime
Minster of Britain,
James Wilson, has
died in surgery.
So, President Asher says we have to go and pay our respects because
Britain has been our oldest Ally. So, it would be rude not to go.
However, both Director Jacobs and Agent Banning don’t like it
because last-minute travel is not good for security reasons. Anyway,
they take the Presidents plane go to Britain.
When they get there, all other World leaders are waiting for the US
President to arrive so they can start the funeral. Among these are
the Canadian Prime Minister, the Italian Prime Minister, Japanese
Prime Minister, French President and the
German Chancellor
.
Then after all them get there, the shooting starts from a corrupt
and fake British Scotland Yard guard. So, while all the leaders are
running for cover, Mike managed to get the US President out of
harm’s way and start thinking of getting out of the war zone that is
happening before their eyes.
While Mike is thinking, all the other leaders are already dead from
the heavy shooting, which only leaves the US president alive. So,
Mike and the President get into a car and try to get to a secure
location. Then, the US Vice President , Trumbull, gets a video
conference from Aamir Barkawi telling him that when he finds the
American President he is going to kill him and put it on the
Internet for everyone to see. He adds that he is doing it in revenge
for the killing of civilians, including his daughter on her wedding
day.
If you like action movies, you are going to enjoy this movie because
there is action from start to finish. Also, the digital effects were
great. They made it seem like you were there, when the buildings
were blown up and the streets were collapsing. One criticism about
this movie is that there is not much dialog.
