The Original:

• Originally released in 1988, Die Hard stars Bruce Willis as New York City police officer John McClane, and is widely regarded as one of the most defining action movies of the 80s, if not all of film history.
• Contributing to a long-running debate as to whether or not the film is a Christmas movie - the story follows McClane as he travels to Los Angeles to reconcile with his wife, Holly Gennaro, at her company's Christmas part on the 30th floor of Nakatomi Plaza.
• It's during this Christmas part that a group of heavily armed criminals take over the building, led by the nefarious Hans Gruber (played by Alan Rickman). McClane manages to escape the initial takeover, and becomes trapped in the bowels of the building and helping the police outside understand whats happening inside the building.
• On original release, the movie became a major box office success, and over the years and decades that followed, spawned an entire franchise.
• Die Hard 2 in 1990, Die Hard with a Vengeance in 1995, Live Free or Die Hard in 2007, and A Good Day to Die Hard in 2013.
