Olympus Has Fallen is a 2013 action film that stars Gerard Butler as Mike Banning, a disgraced Secret Service agent who must rescue the President of the United States (Aaron Eckhart) from North Korean terrorists who have seized the White House. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film was released in the US on March 22, 2013, only a few months ahead of the similarly-themed thriller White House Down.
The following weapons were used in the film Olympus Has Fallen:
Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) and other Secret Service agents, including Agent Roma (Cole Hauser), use current-production SIG-Sauer P229 E2 pistols as their sidearms. Banning uses the P229 during the initial attack on the White house, but later discards it after running out of ammunition. Kang Yeonsak (Rick Yune), leader of the North Korean terrorists, also takes a P229 from a Secret Service agent and uses it throughout the film. Former Agent Dave Forbes (Dylan McDermott) also uses the P229 as his sidearm.
Some of the Metropolitan Police Department officers are armed with SIG-Sauer P226R pistols. A fallen Marine Sergeant also has a P226 lying next to his body, noted by the longer slide than a P229.
Most of the North Korean terrorists who invade the White House are armed with Glock 17 pistols. Metropolitan Police Department officers also use Glocks while battling the terrorists in the film. Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) kills one of the terrorists, and takes his equipment, including a Glock 17, after his P229 runs out of ammunition.
Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) takes a Colt Combat Commander from the President's office, and uses it until it runs out of ammo, switching back to a Glock 17.
The North Korean terrorists are mostly armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns with Navy trigger groups, Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights, and TA31RCO ACOG scopes. Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) also uses an MP5A3, after disarming one of the terrorists. Kang Yeonsak (Rick Yune) also uses a plain MP5A3 when he prepares to execute Secretary of Defense Ruth McMillan (Melissa Leo).
Secret Service agents at Camp David use FN P90 submachine guns while on patrol. Several Secret Service agents and Emergency Response Team agents are also armed with FN P90 TR submachine guns.
A North Korean sniper wields a Heckler & Koch HK416 rifle fitted with a suppressor, and a red dot scope in the film. At least one of the FBI HRT officers is armed with an HK416 as they are responding to the scene.
Secret Service snipers on the White House's roof fire Remington 700PSS sniper rifles while coming under attack from a modified C-130 gunship. Most of the FBI HRT snipers also use Remington 700PSS rifles.
At least one of the FBI HRT snipers responding to the scene of the White House uses a Mark 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle in the film, fitted with a Harris bipod.
A modified C-130 gunship that is used to bombard the White House before the terrorist attack fires two M134 Miniguns. An anti-aircraft system, called HYDRA 6, mounted on the White House roof is also equipped with two automated M134s.
The terrorists use RPG-7 rocket launchers with PGO-7 scopes to blast their way into the White House. Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) also uses one to try and destroy HYDRA 6 on the White House.
