Channing Tatum's 'White House Down' lands on free streaming

White House Down, the 2013 action film that borrows heavily from Die Hard, is now available to stream for free on Tubi. The Roland Emmerich-directed movie pairs Channing Tatum with Jamie Foxx and leans into big, bombastic set pieces rather than subtlety. Tatum plays police officer John Cale, who has just been denied a Secret Service job.

When he takes his daughter on a White House tour he is thrust into the middle of a terrorist plot to capture the President, giving him a second chance at his dream role. The film is wildly unbelievable and knows it, making it well suited to a switch-off, lazy movie night.

Critics were divided on its merits: White House Down holds a 52% Rotten Tomatoes score while the similar Olympus Has Fallen sits at 49%. Regular viewers responded more positively, with audience scores of 62% for White House Down and 66% for Olympus Has Fallen. One five-star viewer wrote, "I love this movie.
