The part of Plot :
1.
Action (Intoduction) :
John Cale
is a U.S. Capitol Police
officer
assigned to Speaker of the House Eli Raphelson. Cale is struggling
to develop a better relationship with his daughter Emily, who has a strong
enthusiasm for politics. He hopes to impress her by getting a job with the Secret Service, but the interview is conducted by
Carol Finnerty, who believes that he is unqualified due to a lack of respect
for authority. After lying to Emily about the outcome of the interview, she and
Cale join a tour of the White House.
2.
Rising action :
Meanwhile,
a man disguised as a janitor detonates a bomb at the center of the United States
Capitol,
killing many tourists and causing the building's dome to collapse. The White House is put
on lockdown separating Cale from Emily (who had left the tour group to use the
restroom). Meanwhile, mercenaries led by Emil Stenz start killing off most of
the Secret Service and take the tour group hostage, but Cale manages to take a
gun from a mercenary named Carl Killick and escapes to go and find his
daughter. Once Sawyer gains access, Walker kills everyone else in Sawyer's
detail, revealing himself to be the leader of the attack; he wants revenge for
the death of his son who was killed during a botched black ops mission. Cale, who fails to find
Emily, kills a mercenary and takes his gun and radio. Using the radio, Cale
locates and rescues the President.
3.
Climax :
Walker and
Stenz bring in Skip Tyler to hack into the defense system, but they still require
Sawyer to activate the nuclear football. Emily, while hiding, records a
video of the mercenaries and uploads it to YouTube before eventually being captured by
Killick. A gunfight erupts which results in an explosion that leaves Sawyer and
Cale presumed dead. Hammond is then sworn in as President. When
Cale and Sawyer reveal they are still alive. Having already learned of Emily
from the video, Stenz, knowing that she is Cale's daughter, takes her to Walker
in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, Tyler finishes the
upload to NORAD and launches a missile at Air Force
One, killing everyone on board, including Hammond. Raphelson is then sworn in
as President and, in a last ditch effort to end the crisis, orders an air
strike on the White House. Finnerty informs Cale of Raphelson's decision.
Walker
tells Cale over the White House intercom to surrender Sawyer or he will kill
Emily. Because of Sawyer's dislike of military force, as well as backing out of
the mission that killed his son, Walker had grown to believe Sawyer was too
weak to be President; by launching a nuclear attack on Iran, Walker had hoped
to regain international respect for America and avenge his own personal loss.
He asks for Sawyer to activate the nuclear football and Sawyer refuses. When
Walker threatens to kill Emily again, the alarms and sprinklers are activated
by Cale setting fire to the Lincoln Bedroom. Walker gains the upper hand and
forces Sawyer to activate the football before apparently shooting him dead.
Using updated launch codes from an anonymous source, Walker targets various
cities in Iran.
4.
Anti-climax :
Before
walker can initiate the launch, Cale come and kills Walker. Cale warns Emily to
go but she takes a presidential flag and waves it on the front lawn, prompting
the pilots to call off the attack. Meanwhile, Sawyer reveals himself to be
alive since the bullet that hit him hit a pocket watch his wife had given him. Cale
realizes something and asks Sawyer for his help in exposing the other person
behind this event. Later, Finnerty arrives at the White
House with Raphelson. When Cale tells them Sawyer was killed, Raphelson then
orders troops to be placed back into the Middle East, which would go against
Sawyer's peace treaty. Cale then reveals Raphelson had conspired with Walker to
orchestrate the attack because of Raphelson's opposition to Sawyer's treaty and
then proves it. Sawyer arrives and has Raphelson taken into custody, treating
his taking of the Presidency as a coup d'état. Sawyer then officially offers Cale
a job in the Secret Service and takes him and Emily on an aerial tour of
Washington, D.C. on his way to the hospital. Realizing an increased need for
peace due to the days events, Russia, Iran, China, and other Middle Eastern and
Asian countries agree to sign Sawyer's peace treaty.
