24 Did Olympus Has Fallen's White House Siege First (& Better)
24 did Olympus Has Fallen's White House siege first — and arguably did a better job with it too. Following the success of Die Hard, there came a slew of movies that attempted to copy its formula. The most famous examples include Under Siege (AKA Die Hard on a boat), Speed (… on a bus) or Passenger 57 (… on a plane). This particular subgenre died down in the late '90s due to the success of movies like The Matrix, but they still pop up occasionally. 2013 saw the arrival of two blockbusters with the same basic premise, with White House Down and Olympus Has Fallen both revolving around terrorists seizing the White House.
