"Paris Has Fallen" – a new TV series inspired by the Gerard Butler film franchise – is a flashback to the kind of explosive action that was so popular in the 1980s. Think "Die Hard" meets "The Rock" with a modern twist.
Here's how to watch "Paris Has Fallen" from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.
"Paris Has Fallen" arrives on Hulu in the U.S. on Friday, December 6, 2024.
• FREE — Watch on SBS (AUS) / Watch on CTV (CAN)
• U.S. — Hulu / Disney Plus Bundle
• U.K. — Amazon Prime Video
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free
Vincent (played by Tewfik Jallab), a French protection officer, and Zara (Ritu Arya), a British MI6 operative, team up after a terrorist attack but are things what they seem? There's a terrorist who can't be bought or reasoned with and, it seems, a larger conspiracy threatening Paris. The two agents find themselves in a race against time to save thousands of lives.
It's not the most original story in the world but true to the "Has Fallen" franchise and that's no bad thing. The cast and several modern narrative twists mark it out as something more than derivative. It works and the only remaining question is which city's landmarks will be under threat in the next small screen version of the Butler vehicle.
