White House Down

John Cale showcases his bravery during a tour in Afghanistan when he saves the life of Speaker Eli Raphelson's nephew. His actions not only earn him recognition but also set the stage for his assignment in a protective role.

Cale struggles to connect with his daughter, Emily, who is passionate about politics. He aspires to impress her by obtaining a position in the Secret Service, hoping to nurture her interest.

Cale faces disappointment when former college peer Carol Finnerty judges him unfit for the Secret Service post. This setback weighs heavily on him, deepening his desire to prove himself.

To distract Emily from his failed interview, Cale takes her on a tour of the White House. Unbeknownst to him, impending chaos looms as a peace treaty announcement is about to take place.

During the tour, a disguised mercenary stealthily plants a bomb in the Capitol, leading to a devastating explosion. The blast shocks the nation and results in significant loss of life.

In the midst of the chaos, Speaker Raphelson manages to escape unharmed and is taken to an underground command center. This escape fortuitously places him out of immediate danger.

With the White House locked down, Cale finds himself separated from Emily, who has wandered off. Tensions rise as mercenaries infiltrate, escalating the perilous situation.

The mercenaries, disguised as technicians, launch a brutal assault, taking Cale's tour group hostage. Cale realizes he must act quickly to ensure their safety, including that of his daughter.

Armed and on the run, Cale evades a mercenary named Killick while devising a plan to rescue his daughter. His determination drives him to navigate the perilous environment of the White House.

As Cale presses on, he discovers that the retiring head of the Presidential detail, Walker, is actually orchestrating the chaos. Walker seeks revenge for a previous operation's failure that cost him his son.

Cale and President Sawyer must not only combat the mercenaries but also face traitors within their own ranks. Tension builds as they race against time to regain control of the White House.

In a moment of desperation, Cale makes a heartfelt plea that ignites courage among his allies. This pivotal moment inspires a collective response against the overwhelming odds they face.

Cale shows his resilience as he confronts the remaining enemies in a climactic showdown. His actions highlight not only his bravery but also his fierce commitment to save his daughter.

With the danger resolved, Cale earns a place within the Secret Service, symbolizing a new chapter for him and his daughter. They take to the skies with President Sawyer, marking a hopeful future.
