Die Hard

Christmas Eve takes a sharp turn when a group of armed thieves seize control of a Los Angeles skyscraper. John McClane, an off-duty New York cop with questionable footwear choices, becomes the building’s only hope. What follows is a brilliantly paced mix of tension, humour, and heroics as he fights to outsmart the criminals and save the hostages — including his estranged wife. The film blends action with wit, delivering iconic lines and memorable moments while never losing its festive backdrop. Over the years, it has earned its place as an unconventional but fiercely defended Christmas classic.
