White House Down is a 2013 action film directed by Roland Emmerich (2012, Independence Day).

He then proceeds to find President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) and the two try to find a way to thwart the terrorists.

President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) fires a Brügger & Thomet MP9 with a suppressor after taking it from a fallen mercenary.

Cale gives Donnie the tour guide (Nicholas Wright) a Mossberg 590 Cruiser with a door breaching brake while rescuing the hostages.
Rifles

M4A1
Some of the mercenaries are armed with M4A1 carbines with EOTech sights. Agents from the Secret Service Emergency Response Team are also armed with M4A1s, as are U.S. Army soldiers and U.S. Marines.
SIG SG 552

Other
FGM-148 Javelin
The mercenaries use a FGM-148 Javelin to fend off attacking helicopters. This particular launcher is designed to be used as an anti-tank weapon, but it's IR guided just like a air-to-air missile. (Besides, any ATGM in existence can engage helicopters, just keep the sights on it). The launcher in the film is depicted as a standard hard-launch missile launcher, instead of a soft-launch (where the missile is pneumatically ejected a safe distance and then ignites its motor).
RPG-7
A mercenary fires a RPG-7 during a chase between the mercenaries and Cale as he and the President attempt to flee using the Presidential Limousine.
Airtronic RPG-7
President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) uses an RPG-7D paratrooper model made to look like the Airtronic RPG-7 in the film. It is done so by the addition of the M4-style stock and RIS rails. The type used is distinguishable from the standard RPG-7 by its takedown feature and the safety latch extension that is visible under the launch tube to prevent the sear from functioning when the launcher is in two pieces. Two separate rocket types can be seen being used with this weapon; the PG-7VM and the larger PG-7VL.
