It will blow you through the back wall of the theater!
High above the city of LA a team of terrorists has seized a building, taken hostages, and declared war. But one man has managed to escape detection...an off-duty cop. He's alone...tired...and the only chance anyone has.
Bruce Willis stars as New York City Detective John McClane, newly arrived in Los Angeles to spend the Christmas holiday with his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia). But as McClane waits for his wife's office party to break-up, terrorists seize control of the building. While the terrorist leader, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his savage henchman (Alexander Godunov) round up hostages, McClane slips away unnoticed. Armed with only a service revolver and his cunning, McClane launches his own one-man war. A crackling thriller from beginning to end, Die Hard explodes with heartstopping suspense.

Die Hard shows its age but is still lots of fun. It is full of cheesy lines but had a great attitude as Bruce Willis plays out the everyman hard a** fantasy.
An excellent antidote to saccharine... Read more
Christmas movies. Be warned, though, the transfer to blu ray is not kind. The picture is not as crisp as one might hope for.This movie is Bruce Willis at his best. A really good story and well produced. Plenty of action all the way through. I can recommend this movie highly.
One of Bruce Willis's best. Definitely one to recommend.
A real fun movie. One to rent again and again. Bruce Willis at his best

also is incredibly resilient. The four stories escalate each in size: first a building, then an airport, then a city and finally the whole of the USA is threatened.The stories are logical and surprising (often witty), and each time the hero faces an incredibly intelligent, well organised, utterly ruthless enemy that can be beaten only by wit, speed and a standard-issue revolver. You'll love each of the four movies. Stay alert because it can become complicated to follow.
Die hards kicks total ass. Possibly the best action movie ever made.
Action packed movie. Liked it a lot! A classic to watch for the whole family. Very enjoyable.
Bruce Willis once again delivers some great acting. Action-packed movie which keeps you always wondering what's happening next. Would definitely watch again.
Awesome classic action which I watched 4 times. His one liners in this movie are great and the movie itself is very entertaining. From huge blow up scenes to his comical catch phrases make for one action... Read more
packed 80's movie. Highly recommend to anyone into this type of stuff.The movie that spawned a hundred clones is still one of the best its genre. As some high-class thieves take control of a building and hold its occupants hostage one man who escaped their attention sets... Read more
about correcting the situation. Alan Rickman is great as the classic English villain and Willis has rarely been better than he is here. Worth re watching if you've seen it before and definitely recommended if you've somehow managed to avoid it all this time.
