I haven’t seen the movie, but I’m referring to a show on ABC which ran ads prior to Trump’s Inauguration and his interview after with David Muir which left a cliffhanger whether the President was shot at the Inauguration.
No. In the movie, the president (Aaron Eckhart) is not shot. The NORKs assault the outside of the White House (the SS & capitol hill cops for sure get the worst of it) with a gunship and vans with .50 cals, prompting the internal security to take the pres & the entire party down to the secure room-—exactly what the NORK and their American traitor want. There, they overpower the SS guards and hold the Pres & some of the cabinet hostage for the secure codes to the nukes. The goal is to launch all US nuke missiles, then abort them over American soil.
(Never mind that the abort doesn’t cause a nuke reaction, but . . . .)
Eventually Gerard Butler defeats the remaining outside NORK baddies, then frees the pres as he is being taken out as a hostage. There, Eckhart and Butler fight the King NORK and the American traitor, killing the baddies.
While completely preposterous, it is nevertheless a good movie once you suspend reality. Delta Force tries to land troops on the White House, only to be shot to pieces by a Gatling gun type system the NORKs put in place (in a few hours, no less). The C-130 dodging fighter aircraft missiles with its massive chaff is a great scene.
This movie is so much better than the Jamie Foxx (Pres Zero look alike) “White House Down” it isn’t funny. The latter is boring and not-believable. The former is just not believable.
