Secret Service Agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) comes under suspicion for an assassination attempt on U.S. President Allan Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) in Angel Has Fallen. Anyone who's seen Banning's heroic actions in the past knows that he can't possibly be guilty, but still, he must go on the run to clear his name in the new thriller.
Now that Angel Has Fallen has launched into theaters, action-movie fans are left wondering: what next? Here are three upcoming major action thrillers that offer new twists on familiar formulas.
He began as a lone former soldier, but over the years Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) gained a family. As a new trailer reveals, he is more than ready to defend it and become a legend. We expect to see extended, large-scale action sequences, as well as the bloody and intense one-on-one battles for which Rambo has become known around the world.
