Release date: July 15th 1988.
Story: A New York police officer John McClane visits his wife at a Los Angeles Office block. But things go out of hand when a group of terrorists take over the building during a Christmas party. John is the only one who managed to slip past them and decides to take them on. Will he be able to fight against the terrorists and save the day? Watch it and find out.
My thoughts: This was the movie that turned Bruce Willis into a star, was the first big screen appearance for Alan Rickman, and started the whole trend of "lone wolf" style action movies. This movie also has a great cast, amazing action scenes, and great one liners. The only thing I don't get is the whole "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" thing. The last thing that comes to my mind while watching it is Christmas. It may be set during Christmas and it may have a Christmas party in it, but the movie has nothing to do with the holiday whatsoever. But anyways it is a great action movie and I would recommend it.
My score: Four stars.
