London Has Fallen

The plot centers on Mike Banning attending the British Prime Minister’s funeral in London, where he uncovers a coordinated terrorist conspiracy targeting global leaders. The film escalates through intense action sequences depicting the attack and Banning’s efforts to safeguard the President of the United States, played by Aaron Eckhart.

Director Babak Najafi took the helm after the original film’s director, Antoine Fuqua, did not return.

Its depiction of a terrorist attack on London brought controversy and discussion, impacting its reception and cultural footprint.
