Rampage: President Down is a 2016 Canadian action thriller film directed by Uwe Boll.[2][3][4]
It is the third film in Boll's Rampage series and a sequel to Rampage (2009) and Rampage: Capital Punishment (2014), also directed by Boll.[5] It is the last film he directed before his retirement in 2016.[6] Four years later, Boll announced a comeback and, via YouTube, a fourth Rampage film that was in development.[7]
Three years after his second killing spree at WK7 TV station in Washington D.C. (following which he was presumed dead in a massive explosion), Bill Williamson returns from hiding and, using a sniper rifle, assassinates the President of the United States, as well as the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense (which happens off-camera).
While hiding in his cabin in the nearby woods, Bill taunts the authorities and prepares for a final confrontation, expecting to die as a self-proclaimed martyr for his cause. In the climax, he engages in a prolonged firefight, killing numerous police officers, SWAT units, and FBI agents before being fatally wounded. His death, however, sparks widespread unrest across the United States, as thousands of supporters act upon his earlier video messages urging violent resistance against the wealthy and elite. The film concludes with a news broadcast reporting on the nationwide shootings and chaos, which is abruptly interrupted when the homeless man from the previous film attacks the station. Facing the camera, he declares that Williamson changed his life before shooting the lens.
