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 former agent Dave Forbes (Dylan McDermott), use current-production SIG-Sauer P229 E2 pistols as their sidearms. Kang Yeonsak (Rick Yune), leader of the North Korean terrorists, also takes a P229 from a Secret Service agent and uses it throughout the film.
