If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.

We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

  • Capture 1
  • 'Now' required

In a film riddled not only with bullets but also with CGI, here is the opening shot of Camp David where Eckhart prepares to leave for a fundraiser only to end in tragedy. Shot in Louisiana, the snow will be fake.

  • Capture 2
  • 'Now' required

The White House, 18 months later. A convincing set built in a field in Bossier City, across the Red River from Shreveport, Louisiana, with added top, railings, trees and building to the right. Looking south-east from Walker Place.

  • Capture 3
  • 'Now' required

Butler tells everyone to stay down as he rushed to the White House. The attacking plane and Washington monument are added in and I suspect the buildings have been touched up. The lamp-post though looks like those found in Marshall Street in downtown Shreveport.

  • Capture 4
  • 'Now' required

The plane sprays Washington inhabitants and secret service with aggression. Shreveport again.
