While Die Hard ends with the cheerful notes of ‘Let It Snow,’ the rest of its soundtrack tells a different story. The score leans heavily on tension, suspense, and bursts of intensity to match the film’s action-driven tone. Composer, Michael Kamen, crafted music designed to amplify drama rather than evoke the holiday spirit. Even the occasional use of Christmas tunes feels more like irony than celebration. Instead of setting the mood for holiday cheer, the music underscores the danger and chaos unfolding inside Nakatomi Plaza. The choice reinforces that Die Hard is first and foremost an action movie, not a Christmas tale
