Die Hard 2 (also called Die Hard 2: Die Harder) is an American action thriller movie starring Bruce Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, and William Sadler.
It was released on the Fourth of July weekend in 1990.
It is the second movie in the Die Hard series.
This movie begins on Christmas Eve 1990.
John McClane is at the Washington Dulles International Airport, waiting for his wife Holly's plane to land, and his car gets towed away.
He argues with the airport security for a little bit before going inside.
There, he sees a couple of men handing off a package to each other and does not like it.
He goes to tell the airport police, but stops because the same man who towed his car is there.
Instead, McClane enters the baggage area, where one of the men pulls a Glock gun and starts firing.
During the gun fight, one man, named Oswald Cochrane, is killed when he goes through a baggage sorting machine.
The other man manages to escape.
McClane tells the chief head of police, a man named Carmine Lorenzo, but Lorenzo thinks that these men are only "punks stealing luggage."
McClane goes out there and gets fingerprints from the dead man.
He faxes them to his friend Al Powell in Los Angeles, telling Powell to run the fingerprints through police records to find out who this person is.
Powell does so and then gives McClane the man's record.
The record says that Cochrane died two years ago in 1988 but is somehow still alive today.
McClane believes he is a professional mercenary.
McClane goes to up to the airport tower and tells them that someone is about to "fuck with the airport."
He says that he does not know what they will do.
Lorenzo forces him out.
A man named Colonel Stuart then puts his plan into action.
He cuts off all electronics inside the airport tower and takes control of all their items – the instrument that lands the planes and all radios.
He then says that, in a couple of hours, a cargo plane will be landing.
The plane has a man named Ramon Esperanza.
Esperanza is the drug lord of the fictional country of Val Verde.
The United States Justice Department is going to put him in jail.
Stuart tells them that he wants a fully-fueled Boeing 747 to be put on the runway and says that nobody should touch the Esperanza's plane or try to restore the landing instruments.
McClane finds a janitor named Marvin.
McClane has Marvin tell him where to go.
Just before McClane was forced out, he heard that the air traffic controllers wanted to head to the Annex Skywalk, a new branch of the airport, to restore their systems.
Lorenzo sends his SWAT team and the communications director, Leslie Barnes, to head to the Skywalk.
As McClane expected, Stuart's men attack the SWAT team.
They kill all five members and are about to kill Barnes when McClane comes through a vent shaft and kills them all.
Moments later, the antenna outpost explodes.
Stuart then calls in to tell them that it was stupid to try to restore their systems.
He then picks a flight that is low on fuel.
He resets the ground level of the landing system to be 200 feet below, so that when the plane is at 200 feet they think they are at 400 feet.
He then crashes the plane into the ground, killing all of the passengers on board.
Afterwards, a Special Forces unit from the United States Army comes in, led by Major Grant.
They take a meeting in the pilot's briefing room.
McClane gets Marvin to try to tell him where the room is.
During the search, McClane finds a two-way radio that one of Stuart's men dropped.
He listens in and finds out that Esperanza has taken over the plane and shot the two pilots.
The plane is out of control and he needs to land right away.
Stuart tells him to land on the nearest runway.
McClane gets out there first and punches him before Stuart's men show up.
They trap him in the cockpit and throw grenades.
McClane escapes by strapping up in the pilot's ejection seat and blasting off as the grenades explode.
Barnes listens to McClane's story.
Because Stuart's men showed up so fast, Barnes thinks that they must be close by.
They find the church where they are basing their operations and send in the Army Special Forces out there to fight.
During the gun battle, McClane sees that Stuart's men are escaping on snowmobiles.
He shoots one guy with a gun that he stole, takes his mobile, and chases after them.
However his gun does not work and his mobile gets shot and he falls down.
He opens his gun and finds that there were rubber bullets in there.
He realizes that Stuart and the special forces are working together.
McClane comes back to the airport.
He says that they are working together.
Lorezno does not believe him until McClane fires the gun to show that they are rubber bullets.
Meanwhile, the people at the airport are panicked.
A reporter named Richard Thornberg has broadcast that terrorists have taken over the airport.
As a result, Lorenzo and McClane cannot get out there fast enough.
Instead, McClane gets a ride with Samantha Coleman and her news helicopter.
The 747 has already left the hanger.
McClane gets the pilot to drop him over the wing of the 747.
Esperanza, who is flying the plane, sees McClane.
Grant goes out there fights but is sucked into the engine of the plane.
McClane finds the fuel hatch.
When Stuart kicks McClane off the plane, McClane manages to open it and the plane starts losing fuel.
McClane then takes his cigarette lighter and ignites the fuel and the plane blows up.
The fire trail of the plane allows the planes flying overhead to see the ground.
Holly lands safely and the two of them come back together.
The movie ends with Marvin driving them off.

is a series of video games created by Nintendo that started on the Nintendo GameCube in 2001.
It has two released games - Pikmin and Pikmin 2, and it has an upcoming game that will be on the Wii or Nintendo DS.
The series is about a spaceman called Captain Olimar visiting an alien planet and working with creatures called Pikmin to explore it.
Captain Olimar - Captain Olimar is spaceman who crash lands on the alien planet in Pikmin and meets the Pikmin species, and has to fix his ship and get off the planet in 30 days, or he'll die.
Olimar is a play on the name Mario, Nintendo's mascot, by rearranging the syllables.
Pikmin - The Pikmin are a type of creature who help Captain Olimar.
In Pikmin, they come in red, yellow, and blue types.
In Pikmin 2, they also come in white and purple types.
Louie - Louie joins Olimar in Pikmin 2 and helps him find treasure.

President - The President of Captain Olimar's company, who sends him to find treasure to pay off the company's debt.
Pikmin is set on a world that is supposed to be Earth, but Captain Olimar is very tiny, so it looks like a strange world to the player.
The first level of Pikmin looks like Shigeru Miyamoto's backyard.
Nintendo made it seem more like Earth by adding common items, like a globe of the Earth, a Duracell battery, and a Pepsi bottle cap.

The red-necked wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) is a medium-sized macropod, common in  parts of eastern Australia.
As one of the largest wallabies, it looks like a kangaroo.
Males can weigh more than 20 kg and have a head-body length of 90 cm.
In Tasmania, north-east New South Wales and coastal Queensland, their numbers have got bigger over the past 30 years.
This is because they are no longer hunted.
A lot of forest has been cleared for grass where wallabies can feed at night, alongside trees where they can shelter by day.
It is less common in Victoria.
Like most macropods, the red-necked wallaby lives by itself.
Groups, also called mobs, share feeding areas.
They feed at night and in the late afternoon, generally eating grass and herbs close to forest shelter.
There are two subspecies.
The Tasmanian form, Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus, also called Bennett's wallaby is smaller, has longer fur, and breeds in the late summer, mostly between February and April.
They can live close to people and are seen feeding on lawns in the suburbs of Hobart and other towns.
The mainland form, Macropus rufogriseus banksianus, breeds all year round.
A female can have babies at the about 14 months old.
A baby red-necked wallaby, called a joey, lives in the mothers pouch for 9 months, and continues to feed from the mother till about 12–15 months of age.

The Battle of Baghdad in 1258 was a victory for the Mongol leader Hulagu Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan.
Baghdad was captured, sacked, and over time burned.
Baghdad was the capital of the Abbasid Empire.
This was an Islamic empire in what is now Iraq.
The Abbasid caliphs were the second of the Islamic dynasties.
The Mongol army, led by Hulagu (also spelled as Hulegu) Khan and the Chinese commander Guo Kan in vice-command, set out for Baghdad in November of 1257.
Hulagu marched with what was probably the largest army ever fielded by the Mongols.
By order of Mongke Khan, one in ten fighting men in the entire Mongol Empire were gathered for Hulagu's army (Saunders 1971).
The attacking army also had a large contingent of Christian forces and of Chinese military engineering troops.
Hulagu demanded surrender; the caliph refused.
Many accounts say that the caliph failed to prepare for the fight; he neither gathered armies nor strengthened the walls of Baghdad.
Hulagu divided his forces, so that they threatened both sides of the city, on the east and west banks of the Tigris.
The attacking Mongols broke some dikes and flooded the ground behind the caliph’s army, trapping them.
Much of the army was slaughtered or drowned.
Under Guo Kan's order, the Chinese counterparts in the Mongolian army then laid siege to the city, constructing a palisade and ditch, wheeling up siege engines and catapults.
The siege started on January 29.
The battle was swift, by siege standards.
By February 5 the Mongols controlled a stretch of the wall.
Al-Musta'sim tried to negotiate, but was refused.
On February 10 Baghdad surrendered.
The Mongols swept into the city on February 13 and began a week of massacre, looting, rape, and destruction.

Jerome David Salinger (January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010), better known as J. D. Salinger, was an American writer of (partly) Jewish descent.
He was best known for his 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye.
Salinger began writing short stories while in secondary school.
In 1936, he went to work in Austria, but left 2 years later, just before Germany took Austria over.
Salinger published several stories in the early 1940s before serving in World War II.
In 1948 he published the story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" in The New Yorker magazine, which also published most of his following work.
In 1951, his first novel The Catcher in the Rye was published.
It became an immediate popular success.
Salinger did not like publicity: He never published an original work after 1965 and was never interviewed after 1980.
In fact, he told his agent to burn any mail that fans sent him.
He also did not want his photograph on the jacket of his books.
Unpublished books
On November 28, 2013, scans of three unpublished Salinger stories were uploaded to the Internet.
It was done by a user of What.
CD, an invite-only BitTorrent tracker site.
The file was quickly removed by administrators of the site.
It is not currently clear how the unpublished material was uploaded, as the original gangster sources came from two different locations (the University of Texas and Princeton).
This shows that the works may have been obtained on separate occasions and then put together.
Salinger's unpublished works quickly spread over to open BitTorrent sites like The Pirate Bay and image-sharing sites such as Imgur.
Despite What.
CD's quick response, Salinger's unpublished writings will forever be available on the internet.
