Before Gerard Butler returns to the big screen in a few weeks with Criminal Squad 2, you can watch two of his most successful films from your sofa tonight, namely the second and third parts of the Olympus Has Fallen series. Lots of action and one conspiracy after another awaits you here.
The first part of the series was already surprising with its rough tone when Butler appeared Secret Service Agent Mike Banning must protect the US President in an attack on the White House. In the sequels, London Has Fallen and Angel Has Fallen, the concept is taken to the extreme.
Today there’s a big action fest with Gerard Butler on TV: London Has Fallen and Angel Has Fallen
In London Has Fallen, as the title suggests, Banning ends up on British soil. The unexpected death of the Prime Minister is an opportunity for politicians from all over the world to gather in London. This also includes US President Asher (Aaron Eckhart), who arrives with Banning in tow.

It doesn’t take long until it becomes clear that the gathering of high-ranking people from international politics is being targeted by a terrorist group. Once again Banning has to do it turning into a John McClane replacementto maintain order while the buildings to his left and right are blown up.
Then it goes back home: Angel Has Fallen turns out to be a dark but no less action-packed conspiracy thriller that puts the protagonist to a tough test. Before Banning knows it, he is branded a traitor. He then does everything he can to clear his name again.

No compromises: The Has Fallen series throws itself into the action with a grim face and delivers with every part crisp, explosive spectacle from which there is hardly any boredom. However, the figurehead of the series is not the riot, but Butler, who reinforces his status as an action star from minute to minute. Now we can’t wait to see when he returns as Mike Banning in Night Has Fallen.
