Die Hard (1988)

RT Score:94%Age rating:RLength:132 minutesDirector:John McTiernanArriving on:September 1

The Christmas movie that isn’t quite a Christmas movie. New York City cop, John McClane (Bruce Willis) is embroiled in a terrorist hostage situation during his ex-wife’s Christmas party. Aside from the party being at Christmas and John wearing a Christmas hat in a vent, the action-packed thriller pits John up against an iconic villain, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), while trying to save his wife, her colleagues, and ultimately, I guess, Christmas. It’s one of the most epic action movies of all time, is one ofBruce Willis’ best movies, and somehow manages to intertwine a comedic element throughout that keeps the action light-hearted while equally thrilling. Yippee-ki-yay!
