The North-American President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) proposes a global peace plan frustrating the arms industry. Meanwhile the Capitol security agent John Cale (Channing Tatum) had made an application for the secret service to protect the president and travels for an interview with Agent Finnerty (Maggie Gyllenhaal) in Washington with his eleven year-old daughter Emily (Joey King). Cale is not accepted and he goes with Emily on a tour in the White House. Out of the blue, the White House is invaded and overtaken by a terrorist group led by Stenz (Jason Clarke) and Cale fights against the paramilitary group to save his daughter and the president while discloses high treason and coup d'état sponsored by the arms industry.
"White House Down" is a kind of déjà vu of "Olympus Has Fallen" that is a rip-off "Die Hard". The lack of originality is impressive associated to a dull, predictable, boasting of patriotism and unbelievable story and an annoying teenager. However the result is funny and entertains with the absurd. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Ataque" ("The Attack")
