Arguably the gold standard for hostage thrillers, Die Hard brings the most perfect action movie scenario. The movie stars Bruce Willis as an NYPD officer who gets trapped in a Los Angeles skyscraper, as it comes under terrorist hijack. Initially intended as a robbery, things escalate into survival fighting as John McClane, played by Bruce Willis, outsmarts a gang of German terrorists headed by the inimitable Hans Gruber played by Alan Rickman. The movie redefined action cinema and presented one of the finest heroes to ever be brought on screen.
