London Has Fallen
"We've lost good friends. Family. All good people. Heroes, every one of them. Our hearts and prayers go out to their families. And they will be remembered. Nor will we forget those who serve out of the spotlight, to whom we owe our highest gratitude. Our foe did not come only to destroy our things or our people. They came to desecrate our way of life. To foul our beliefs. Trample our freedom. And in this, not only did they fail, they granted us the greatest gift - a chance at our rebirth. We will rise renewed, stronger, and united. This is our time. Our chance to get back to the best of who we are. To lead by example with the dignity, integrity, and honor that built this country. And which will build it once again. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America."

White House Attack[]

Shown to be a powerful and charismatic leader, Asher is an efficient and popular president who has even gotten America off its dependence on foreign oil. Asher has a content life with his family until his wife is killed in a car accident. Asher blames secret service agent Mike Banning for her death although he continues to lead a fairly stable life with his son. He is then taken hostage by Kang Yeonsak and held prisoner in the PEOC bunker underneath the White House. Kang claims he is not afraid of Banning but Asher warns him that he should be. Later on, Mike rescues the president and he goes on to make a speech about rebuilding America.
