In 2013, Gerard Butler played Mike Banning, a disgraced former Secret Service agent who found himself once again protecting the president – then played by Aaron Eckhart – in Olympus Has Fallen.

The film was such a success that a sequel, London Has Fallen, followed soon after. In this one, Banning went up against international terrorists who caused chaos by trying to kill world leaders.

Now, in the third instalment of the franchise, Angel Has Fallen, Banning returns to protect the president (now played by Morgan Freeman), but things go horribly wrong. Here’s Screen Rant with more:

In Angel Has Fallen, former Speaker of the House Turnbull (Morgan Freeman) has now become president, while Mike Banning is looking at taking on a nice cushy desk job as the director of the Secret Service. But unfortunately, terrorists once again have plans that involve taking out the president. In a twist, Banning himself is framed for attempted assassination and finds himself going on the run.

Lionsgate has released the first trailer for the film:

As with the previous two films, this one promises a ton of action as Banning tries to evade the authorities while still protecting the president.

Expect explosions, high-speed chases and gunfights coming to theatres on August 23, 2019.
