Londoners basked in the heat wave yesterday as an urban assault course took over the South Bank of the Thames to mark the action hit, LONDON HAS FALLEN.
In partnership with Lionsgate Home Entertainment, obstacle course race experts Urban Attack constructed the imposing course on Riverside Slice in the shadow of the OXO Tower. Members of the public competed on the course to see if they had what it took to emulate LONDON HAS FALLEN’s resident hard man, Mike Banning (Gerard Butler). Some well-known faces, including Sam Callahan and Chloe Paige (X Factor) and Love Island’s Chris Baxter also took part whilst YouTube sensation Tobiias and his unwitting housemates took on former SAS trooper, ITV fitness trainer and Urban Attack’s owner Rob Edmond… and lost.
Following the global success of Olympus Has Fallen, LONDON HAS FALLEN sees Presidential bodyguard Mike Banning return, this time bringing his presidential bromance with Aaron Eckhart’s President Asher to Blighty as they take on a new threat that arises from a State funeral.
Following an outstanding performance at the box office, LONDON HAS FALLEN arrived on Blu-ray and DVD yesterday, reuniting Butler and Eckhart with Angela Bassett and Morgan Freeman for an explosive, fun-filled adrenaline ride – the perfect antidote to whatever the weather throws at you!
