Die Hard is a famous 1988 American action film, directed by John McTiernan and starring Bruce WIllis. The film features John McClane, an off-duty New York City police office who has been invited to a Christmas party in Los Angeles at his wife’s offices in a new skyscraper. Johnis attempting to reconcile things with his wife, Holly, who took the job in LA against his wishes. Things are going reasonably until the party is rudely interrupted by a bunch of apparent terrorists, led by one Hans Gruber, played with suitable menace by Alan Rickman. At first it seems like a typical hostage situation, but the criminal’s real plan is to break into the company’s vault and steal six hundred million dollar’s worth of government bonds. McClane is lucky enough to escape the initial situation and goes on a rampage through the office building, desperately trying to alert the LAPD and rescue the hostages and his wife.
The film launched Willis’ action career and so far has spawned four sequels and en entire sub-genre of action film the “Die Hard on/in an X” film, where one out-of-place person is left to stop a terrorist/hostage situation. This is clearly seen in such films as Air Force One, Under Siege, The Rock and Olympus Has Fallen. The film also began Alan Rickman’s run of playing the bad guy, including films like Robin Hood and Harry Potter.
