Review of Die Hard (1988) by Steven1981 — 18 Mar 2020
John McTiernan (Predator) who went on to make Last Action Hero which was a fun film directs DIE HARD.. Made in 1988 and starring Bruce Willis as New York cop, John McClane who travels to Nakatomi plaza at Christmas to see his wife (Bonnie Bedelia).
About an hour later we see John McClane on the phone and the sudden sound of gunshots firing. A team of terrorists seize control of the Nakatomi high rise building and control all the cameras, elevators, power, etc.
One thing they can't do is get into a vault that's carrying bearer bonds which the terrorists are interested in but never give up trying. They kill the owner of the building who's incharge after asking for the code for the vault to unlock it.
Meanwhile John McClane (Bruce Willis) has escaped BV undetected and hiding somewhere in the high rise building. The terrorists have taken everyone else in the building hostage, later the police and FBI get called in because of the terrorists threat.
However they can't enter the high rise building because that puts the hostages in danger as the terrorists will kill them off so the police listen to the terrorists demands. Meanwhile still inside the building cop John McClane (Willis) starts killing off the terrorists one by one sand saves the day.
By the end of the movie many police will be injured or dead, hostages killed and a building destroyed with dead terrorists. However many hostages were also saved and Die Hard is one of the greatest action films ever made with excellent action scenes executed to perfection.
. Rated 18 for violence, bad language and nudity...
