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 sequel London Has Fallen is set to be released in early 2016.
The following weapons were used in the film Olympus Has Fallen:
Secret Service agents, including Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) and Agent Roma (Cole Hauser), are seen using current-production SIG-Sauer P229 E2 pistols as their sidearms. Kang Yeonsak (Rick Yune) and Former Agent Dave Forbes (Dylan McDermott) are also seen with P229 as his their primary weapon.
A few 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.
The Glock 17 pistol is seen prominently in the hands of the North Korean terrorists invading the White House and Metropolitan Police Department officers in the film. Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is also seen with a Glock 17 procured from a dead terrorist 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.
