Banning, equipped with his extensive combat experience and unyielding resolve, must navigate a maze of danger and deception to prevent catastrophe.
Directed by Ric Roman Waugh, who helmed the previous installment “Angel Has Fallen” (2019), “Night Has Fallen” is expected to elevate the franchise with more sophisticated storytelling and high-octane action.
