The city and its monuments are an endless source of cinematic inspiration, and the setting for some iconic moments on screen. Starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, Steven Spielberg&#8217;s new film, political thriller\u00a0<em>The Post<\/em>, depicts journalists from\u00a0<i>The Washington Post<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0<i>The New York Times<\/i>\u00a0who published the Pentagon Papers.

It could only be <em>Independence Day,<\/em> where an alien race seeks to gain control of the earth but \u2013 thankfully &#8211; is defeated by Will Smith. This seminal scene isn&#8217;t all CGI however; director Roland Emmerich had a 10&#215;5 foot scale model created. The spectacle took a week to plan with over 40 explosions. Thankfully, the White House, built in 1792, is still very much intact and the home of the US president can be viewed in all its glory in Washington DC.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>National Archives \u2013 <em>National Treasure<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/12\/National-Archives-www.istockphoto.comgbphotonational-archives-washington-dc-gm157734920-20873335-RiverNorthPhotography.jpg\" alt=\"Washington DC Film Locations National-Archives-www.istockphoto.comgbphotonational-archives-washington-dc-gm157734920-20873335-RiverNorthPhotography\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/National-Archives-www.istockphoto.comgbphotonational-archives-washington-dc-gm157734920-20873335-RiverNorthPhotography.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/National-Archives-www.istockphoto.comgbphotonational-archives-washington-dc-gm157734920-20873335-RiverNorthPhotography-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/National-Archives-www.istockphoto.comgbphotonational-archives-washington-dc-gm157734920-20873335-RiverNorthPhotography-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/National-Archives-www.istockphoto.comgbphotonational-archives-washington-dc-gm157734920-20873335-RiverNorthPhotography-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/National-Archives-www.istockphoto.comgbphotonational-archives-washington-dc-gm157734920-20873335-RiverNorthPhotography-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/National-Archives-www.istockphoto.comgbphotonational-archives-washington-dc-gm157734920-20873335-RiverNorthPhotography-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/>The grand, neo-classical National Archives Building features in the Nicholas Cage caper, <em>National Treasure<\/em>.

The 1970s film, <em>All the President&#8217;s Men,<\/em> documents the process of how <em>Washington Post<\/em> reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein plotted the political expos\u00e9. The Modernist hotel&#8217;s sweeping curves are instantly recognisable. After falling into disrepair, the Watergate Hotel has been given a new lease of life by Ron Arad Architects.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>St Elmo&#8217;s Bar \u2013 St Elmo&#8217;s Fire<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/12\/Blunt-Tombs-CREDIT-Tombs.jpg\" alt=\"Washington DC Film Locations Blunt-Tombs-CREDIT-Tombs\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Blunt-Tombs-CREDIT-Tombs.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Blunt-Tombs-CREDIT-Tombs-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Blunt-Tombs-CREDIT-Tombs-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Blunt-Tombs-CREDIT-Tombs-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Blunt-Tombs-CREDIT-Tombs-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Blunt-Tombs-CREDIT-Tombs-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/>The classic 80s Brat Pack flick, <em>St<\/em> <em>Elmo&#8217;s Fire<\/em> follows the lives of former Georgetown University students navigating their way through postgraduate life. Centre-stage was St Elmo&#8217;s Bar; a watering hole that&#8217;s still open today. Located on the fringe of Georgetown Campus, The Tombs (as it&#8217;s actually called) looks virtually the same inside as it did in the film. In fact, little has changed since it opened in 1962.
