Synopsis 2

During what should be a quiet Memorial Day weekend, the President of the United States secretly faces a military crisis in the Middle East. His overzealous Chairman of the Joint Chiefs incites a mutiny within the White House, holding staff members hostage, before proceeding to take command of a covert military operation. 

Meanwhile, a determined Secret Service agent teams with the female Vice President in an effort to avert a global firestorm and restore order to the American Government. It�s Die Hard at the White House. Tense and unrelenting action with a topical twist. An excellent film.
