For New York City cop, John McClane, facing Christmas without his estranged wife and two children was too much to take. Armed with presents, McClane boards a plane for Los Angeles, hoping to patch up his marriage.

McClane arrives at his wife's office building, the newly constructed Nakatomi Plaza, and relaxes while she and her fellow co-workers celebrate Christmas and their most successful year in the history of the company.

But, success has its drawbacks. Enter Hans Gruber, the stylish and cool terrorist who has left behind his once political agenda for a more profitable one--stealing $600 million in negotiable bearer bonds from Nakatomi's vault. What follows is a truly epic confrontation between a team of highly trained, armed and motivated terrorists and a barefoot cop armed with his 9mm, his wits and his determination.

Released in 1988 and recognized as one of the biggest action thrillers of all time, Die Hard created a genre all its own. Its worldwide box office take would intimidate even Hans Gruber and his terrorists. Nowadays, filmmakers herald their "fresh" ideas as Die Hard on a boat or Die Hard on a train. But, there's only one Die Hard. Here's a chance to see the stars, the director and take a peek at what it took behind the scenes to bring John McClane's adventure to life.
