Possibly the greatest action movie of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2010)

Bruce Willis is John McClane who is a New York cop who goes to visit his wife at a Christmas party at her workplace in LA. Meanwhile, a group of terrorists (the leader Hans Gruber played by the brilliant Alan Rickman) who take everyone in the building hostile except for McClane who luckily escaped and goes on the search for planted bombs.
This is possibly the greatest action film of all time, Die Hard turned Bruce Willis from a TV star (Just known for Moonlighting at he time) into a big Hollywood star and also made Alan Rickman famous.
Arnold Shwarzenegger, Burt Reynolds and Richard Gere nearly got the role of John McClane, it was lucky that Bruce Willis got it because it wouldn't have been the same. If you like this, you'll also like Die Hard 2, 3 and 4, Lethal Weapon 1, 2, 3 and 4, Under Siege 1 and 2, Speed, The Rock, Con Air, Last Boy Scout and nearly all of the early Steven Seagal films.
