Inspired by the film “Gerard Butler,” the new TV series “Paris Has Fallen” is a flashback to the explosive action that made the 1980s so popular. It is like a modern take on “Die Hard” and “The Rock.

Here's how to watch “Paris Has Fallen” from anywhere using a VPN and potentially for free.

French police inspector Vincent (played by Tewfik Jalab) and British MI6 agent Zara (played by Ritu Arya) team up after a terrorist attack, but are things as they seem? With terrorists who can't be bought or reasoned with, and a larger conspiracy threatening Paris, the two agents find themselves in a race against time to save thousands of lives.

While not the most original story in the world, it stays true to the “Has Fallen” franchise, and that's not a bad thing. The cast and a few modern story twists show that this is more than a derivative work. And the only question that remains is which city landmarks will be threatened in the next small screen version of the Butler vehicle.
