Plot: It's Christmas time in L.A., and there's an employee party in progress on the 30th floor of the Nakatomi Corporation building. The revelry comes to a violent end when the partygoers are taken hostage by a group of terrorists headed by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), who plan to steal the 600 million dollars locked in Nakatomi's high-tech safe. In truth, Gruber and his henchmen are only pretending to be politically motivated to throw the authorities off track; also in truth, Gruber has no intention of allowing anyone to get out of the building alive. Meanwhile, New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) has come to L.A. to visit his estranged wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), who happens to be one of the hostages. Disregarding the orders of the authorities surrounding the building, McClane, who fears nothing (except heights), takes on the villains, armed with one handgun and plenty of chutzpah. Until Die Hard came along, Bruce Willis was merely that wisecracking guy on Moonlighting. After the film's profits started rolling in, Willis found himself one of the highest-paid and most sought-after leading men in Hollywood. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

best action movie ever made
Added 9/7/2009

i watch this whenever its on cable, i dont care if i've seen it 100 times (i have) and my dad likes it a lot too.however i would suggest you cover your ears now and then because the language does get a little ROUGH if you know what i mean, but after you watch this one you will say "arnold who" because bruce wilson is just THAT good. if you haven't you should also check out die hard 3 and terminator as well. its a real treat. see you at the movies!

An Action Classic
Added 9/3/2009

'Die Hard' is a must see show for anyone who loves action movies.

Bruce Willis stars as New York police Officer John McClane. He and his wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) are separated. She has taken a job transfer to Los Angeles. John travels to the West Coast to visit her and the kids for the holidays.

The trip starts off with an appearance at her company Christmas party. This international firm is targeted by European terrorists who seize the office during the party. Officer McClane is not present in the room when the seizure occurs. When he hears what is going on, he starts targeting the bad guys.

This is full of excitement from start to finish. Willis does a great job as the hero. Reginald Veljohnson is another great character as LA Police Sgt. Al Powell. Although Powell is not central to the heroics, he is a good addition to the plot helping to inject a little humor and human touch into the show.

This is really a superb show. If you have not seen it, you are long overdue.

This is easy to use and a good instructional tool for any teacher who wants to teach the editing, shot selection, and visual story telling process.

Die Hard 1 is Without a Question must have DVD 5 Stars
Added 7/24/2009

After watching the second die hard before this one I felt nothing could beat that die hard in the series. Boy was I wrong. The first Die Hard in my opinion takes the cake for the best in the series. The second one had a great storyline and lots of action but this one kept you on the edge of your seat all the way through. Bruce Willis delivers another masterpiece here and I would put this in his top 3 movies of all time acting in. The movie does a great job developing in the first half hour and then the rest of the movie was nonstop action. This movie takes extreme to its finest. Another great part about this movie is some of the catch lines in the movie. Like Yippe Kia blank. Lots of funny lines by Bruce Willis as the movie goes on so you have a bit of comedy and action to along with it. Most of the time you have a feeling of what the end is going to be like but with this movie I had no idea what was going to happen. Overall a great movie and one you must pick up if you have the chance.

A Very Good Sequel
Added 9/3/2009

Although I do not think it is as great as the original 'Die Hard', this installment is another show with lots of action and some terrific scenes. It will keep viewers interested throughout.

Bruce Willis is back as the hero. Now he is living in Los Angeles and is a lieutenant with the LAPD. This segment has him traveling. He is in Washington, D.C. waiting at the Dulles Airport for his wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) to arrive on a flight. Some strange things are happening and McClane's situational awareness is sky high. He picks up on some serious operators roaming around and picks up on a terrorist plot.

This show is full of implausible happenings, but it is great fun nevertheless. McClane has some unbelievable moments in his heroics. The bad guys are ex Special Forces and very dangerous opponents.

I certainly enjoyed this flick a lot. I think it is worth watching.
