WHITE HOUSE DOWN Tonight, Channel 5, 10.10pm

EX-SOLDIER John Cale (Channing Tatum) is assigned to protect Speaker of the House Eli Raphelson (Richard Jenkins), when he would much rather be part of the Secret Service detail guarding President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx). An interview for promotion goes badly and John licks his wounds by joining his daughter (Joey King) on a guided tour of the White House – just as a paramilitary group led by Emil Stenz (Jason Clarke) prepares to take control of the building. With the President’s life in the balance, John gets a chance to prove himself after all. This action thriller was overshadowed by the similar Olympus Has Fallen, but it’s more fun.
