Films and series
The first film became a surprise hit in the cinema, and from then on the success story took off. The cinema series ostensibly relies on one actor, but things are different in the streaming sector.

With “Olympus Has Fallen,” an action series launched in 2013 that was entirely dedicated to the classic “one man against all” principle and was therefore surprisingly successful. It is worn by Gerard Butler.
The success of the first film laid the foundation for an entire franchise that is still not over. “London Has Fallen” is now available on Netflix.
That’s what “London Has Fallen” is about
After the sudden death of the British Prime Minister, the leading heads of state of the Western world travel to London for his funeral – a seemingly perfectly secured event.
But what begins as a diplomatic protocol turns out to be a meticulously planned terrorist attack. Extremists launch a massive attack on the capital and eliminate several heads of government within minutes.
At the center of the catastrophe are US President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and his Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler), who do everything in their power to protect the president and get him out of the besieged city alive.
As London burns, a merciless race against time unfolds.
Action series with Gerard Butler continues to grow
With “Olympus Has Fallen”, “London Has Fallen” and “Angel Has Fallen”, the film series now has three spin-offs, and a fourth is in the works. However, “Night Has Fallen” currently does not have a specific start date.
The sequel will once again be produced by Gerard Butler himself, who will continue to play the leading role. The script is again by Robert Mark Kamen (“Taken”), which suggests that the franchise continues to focus on uncompromising action and national threat scenarios.
All films consistently rely on Gerard Butler as a tough but loyal one-man army, while the political personnel around him change over the course of the film. Morgan Freeman, for example, takes over the highest office in the state as President Trumbull from part three.
With “Paris Has Fallen” the series even moved to television in 2024. The series is expressly seen as an extension of the “Has Fallen” series, although the previous main actor Gerard Butler is not the focus here. A second season titled “Apollo Has Fallen” is in development.
RTL Two showed “London Has Fallen” on October 24th at 8:15 p.m. The blockbuster can be streamed on Netflix, where it is currently included in the flat rate.
