If you’re a fan of fierce action films, Gerard Butler's *London Has Fallen* should definitely be on your watch list tonight. Airing on Film4 at 11:25 pm, this intense sequel promises thrills as it brings back Butler's beloved character, Mike Banning, embroiled in yet another exhilarating rescue mission.
In *London Has Fallen*, which first hit screens in 2016, Butler reprises his role as the gritty Secret Service agent Mike Banning. This time, he's tasked with safeguarding US President Benjamin Asher, played by Aaron Eckhart, from a terrifying attack in the heart of London. The attack occurs amidst the solemnity of the British Prime Minister’s funeral, turning a city of mourning into a battlefield. A group of terrorists targets world leaders gathered for the occasion, pushing Banning into a race against time to thwart their plan and ensure the president's safety.
Directed by Babak Najafi, the film delivers relentless action sequences and dramatic tension, embodying all the elements of a classic action thriller. Although it didn't score high on critics' ladders, with a 28% on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences flocked to see it, raking in more than $200 million worldwide. That number speaks volumes about its pulse-pounding allure.
