White House Down is a 2013 action film directed by Roland Emmerich (2012, Independence Day). Channing Tatum stars as John Cale, a Capitol Police Officer and failed Secret Service applicant who finds himself trapped after heavily armed mercenaries seize the White House. He then proceeds to find President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) and the two try to find a way to thwart the terrorists. The film was released in the U.S. on June 28, 2013, only a few months following the release of the similarly-themed Olympus Has Fallen.
