Die Hard
“40 stories of sheer adventure!”
Director
John McTiernan
Screenplay
Jeb Stuart, Steven E. de Souza
On Christmas Eve, New York cop John McClane travels to Los Angeles to reconcile with his wife and attends the Christmas party at the corporation where she works, in a gleaming Century City skyscraper. The evening turns into a nightmare when a commando of mercenaries led by the icy Hans Gruber seizes the building, holds the employees hostage and disguises a multimillion-dollar heist as a terrorist attack. Barefoot, cut off and alone against a dozen armed men, McClane wages a guerrilla war through the ducts and unfinished floors of the building. Thrilling, sardonic and with a villain for the ages, it redefined modern action cinema.
