Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, and Maggie Gyllenhaal's Wild Political Action Thriller Is a Must-Watch — And Free
Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Lance Reddick deal with a White House attack in Roland Emmerich's White House Down.

There are times when two movies release within the same year that more or less share the same plot, with one of the most glaring instances being when White House Down was released in the same year as Olympus Has Fallen. But while the two share the same basic story of "The President comes under attack from outside forces, and only one skilled soldier can save him," they're wildly different. For starters, White House Down actually has its president, James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) get in on the action. Secondly, it features all of the over the top bombast one would come to expect from a Roland Emmerichmovie. (Ironically, Emmerich had blown up the White House before during his alien invasion thriller Independence Day.) White House Down just jumped from Netflix to Tubi, meaning that action fans have a new film to add to their watchlist.
