Directed by Antoine Fuqua.

Olympus Has Fallen is a 2013 American political action thriller directed and co-produced by Antoine Fuqua, with a screenplay by Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt. It is the first installment in the Has Fallen film series. The movie stars Gerard Butler (who also co-produced), Aaron Eckhart, and Morgan Freeman, with supporting roles by Angela Bassett, Robert Forster, Cole Hauser, Ashley Judd, Melissa Leo, Dylan McDermott, Radha Mitchell, and Rick Yune. The plot centers on a North Korean-led guerrilla attack on the White House and follows disgraced Secret Service agent Mike Banning as he tries to rescue U.S. President Benjamin Asher.

Released in the United States on March 22, 2013, by FilmDistrict, the film grossed $170 million against a $70 million production budget. Critics gave it mixed reviews, praising Fuqua's direction and Butler's performance but criticizing the overt violence and screenplay. Olympus Has Fallen was one of two films in 2013 depicting a terrorist attack on the White House; the other was White House Down.

A sequel, London Has Fallen, was released on March 4, 2016, with the principal cast members reprising their roles, followed by a third film, Angel Has Fallen, released on August 23, 2019.
