London is smashing in the high-octane action film London Has Fallen

  • 8 years ago
When the British Prime Minister dies under mysterious circumstances, his funeral in the capital is a must-attend event for leaders of the Western world.

What starts out as the most protected event on the planet, turns into a deadly plot to kill the world’s most powerful leaders. In short, all hell breaks loose.

London Has Fallen is a sequel to the 2013 thriller Olympus Has Fallen, which received mixed critical reception but earned more than $160m against a $70m production budget.

This time around the film was made for $105m and so the pressure is on for commercial success.

Gerard Butler, Angela Bassett and Morgan Freeman who were in the first project, turned out for the world premier in Los Angeles.

Scottish actor Butler returns to his role as a secret agent in the line of fire.

Speaking on the red carpet, Butler said: “Now we are in London and it’s an attack on a whole bunch of the world leaders. It just happens on a massive scale, it is not just the White House anymo
