About this event
FilmHoping to spend Christmas reconciling with his estranged wife, police detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) arrives in Los Angeles at the tower block where she works. However, during the office’s holiday party, a group of thieves posing as terrorists seize control of the building and turn the partygoers into hostages – except for McClane.
Armed with little more than his wits, his police training, and a department-issue pistol, McClane does his best to stay alive, pick off the thieves, and save his wife.
One of the most purely entertaining movies ever made, this fast, funny and visually elegant thriller set the template for the Hollywood action flicks that followed it and made Willis a movie star.
And yes, it IS a Christmas movie!
