London Has Fallen: Movie Synopsis
Terrorist Mastermind and international arms dealer Aamir Barkawi, listed at the top of Global’s most wanted list, attended his daughter’s wedding. At that point, the G8 intelligence picks up a signal in the area and launches a drone strike. Barkawi appears to be dead, along with his daughter.
The story begins two years after the prelude. The death of British Prime Minister James Wilson has cast a shadow over international politics, and political leaders from G7 member states are attending a funeral. With all nations having their own security team, the event soon becomes a spectacle.
The media hails the funeral procession as the safest in the world. Benjamin Asher, the president of the United States, is also among the dignitaries, but Director of Secrets Lynne Jacobs knows how difficult it can be to protect the President. With a private bodyguard of President Mike Banning, she prepares the team’s route – from Stansted Airport to Somerset House on a 12-minute Marine One trip to St.
Paul’s Cathedral, where the funeral service was to be held. Brits cannot provide additional protection because their plates are full. We later learned that security forces had a large population of uniformed terrorists.
The action begins as the President arrives at Somerset House and shakes hands with Clarkson, the current prime minister. Before they could measure the intensity of the impact, uniformed gunmen began firing on civilians. Soon, we see a visceral eruption in St. Louis. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, and Chelsea Bridge.
Italian Prime Minister Antonio Gusto dies while on a visit to Buckingham Palace. Japanese Prime Minister Tsutomu Nakushima, who is still trapped in a traffic jam, has a similar fate. Now, as the vice president takes over the reins from the White House, Benjamin Asher and Mike Banning have to deal with the damage done to the floor and get out of the mess alive.
London Has Fallen: Movie Ending,
For Mike Banning and many US officials, the security of the President is paramount. So, shortly after the attack, Banning takes the President to the MI6 safe house, run by Jacquelin “Jax” Marshall. When they arrived, they received a message from the vice president, confirming that the delta team was on its way to rescue the President.
Only about 30 minutes after the message, they found delta power outside the safe house. However, the legal authority of the delta will not be able to reach the area within such short notice, and the Prohibition concludes that their site has been compromised.
However, Banning and Asher fled to safety, finding a car loaded with ammunition in the garage. They almost reached a safe place, but the truck T-bones before they knew it. The terrorists captured Asher, took him to a basement. Mike, on the other hand, captures the real power of the delta and arrives at the scene. It is about eight o’clock, and Kamran Barkawi, the son of Aamir Barkawi, tries to assassinate Asher. But Mike arrives at the scene just in time.
After the shooting, they fled the scene. Surrounded, Mike asks the delta army captain to charge the explosives and put them in front of the pipe. Mike and Asher take the shoulder of faith on the cash register while the building rises. Eventually, the delta force inspects the rubble, and they find the President in one place.
The delta team successfully rescues the President with some ingenuity from Mike Banning. However, towards the end of the film, Barkawi summons vice-president Allan Trumbull, threatening that the war is not over. With American drones killing his daughter, and now Kamran, Aamir’s hunger for revenge has just intensified. However, Trumbull asks him to look up at the sky.
As Aamir looks up at the sky, he is mentally preparing for the imminent destruction. Trumbull, who was waiting for Barkawi’s call (similar to waiting to track a call in Barkawi’s place), clears the drone to engage. The drone struck Barkawi’s hideout with a huge explosion, killing him and several of his bodyguards. So, of course, Barkawi dies in this attack.
Benjamin and Mike both survived the terrorist attack. In the final episode of the film, we meet Mike, at home, with his wife and baby girl named Lynne after the late Secret Service Director. By looking at an incomplete book written on his portable computer, Preventing toys with the idea of leaving his job. Right there, however, Allan Trumbull speaks to the nation. Trumbull is currently the vice president, but when Asher is out of office, he takes over the reins.
However, as Allan becomes President in the third part of the film, we think that Benjamin Asher is finally sacrificing his presidency to take care of his family. After this traumatic event, he seems to begin to value his life and the lives of others around him, in addition to an honorable position. Allan, on the other hand, speaks of the need to take action.
Doing nothing makes you feel guilty as a criminal as you choose not to do. After hearing the encouraging talk, Mike removes his letter of resignation. So, we don’t think Mike will quit the job, but Asher is actually resigning his position sooner or later. “London Has Fallen.”
