Turns out that Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx may be moving up to Tom Cruise/Bruce Willis bucks after White House Down. Foxx is President Swanson who is casually interacting with Channing Tatum (John Cale) and his daugther Emily Cale on a White House tour when a group of (white) terrorists [is there really such a thing?] blow shit up and take everyone in this White House hostage.
Little do they know that Hell hath no fury like a father's love. Wait, haven't we seen this movie before? (Die Hard, Patriot Games, Death Wish). Some serious ass kicking and name taking ensues, with a major supporting role of the military hardware of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Browning, and so forth. Helicopters, machine guns, missiles, bombs and more. Tom Clancy would be proud.
Because the premise lies on the White House tour, there is also an educational aspect to this like in National Treasure or the Da Vinci Code. See what you did and did not know about the White House.
