Emmerich Blows Up The White House Again in "White House Down"

Columbia Pictures’ "White House Down" is the latest film from director Roland Emmerich, whose films, notably "Independence Day", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012", have taken in more than $3 billion worldwide. His latest film is an action movie on starring the most recognizable home on the planet - not the Malacanang Palace folks but the White House. The White House is actually very familiar territory for Emmerich who had aliens blow up the building in "Independence Day" and sent the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy through it in "2012" and now, for the third time, Emmerich is on a rampage to destroy the White House once again. We will soon find out how he does it this time around this July. In "White House Down", Capitol Policeman John Cale (Channing Tatum) has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). Not wanting to let his little girl down with the news, he takes her on a tour of the White House but unfortunately, right when the complex is overtaken by a heavily armed paramilitary group. Now, with the nation’s government falling into chaos and time running out, it’s up to Cale to save his daughter, the president plus the country to boot. Catch the trailer of "White House Down" after the break.




Opening across the Philippines on July 3, “White House Down” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
