30 years ago today, a cobbled-together action film called Die Hard was released in US theaters. Costing $28 million, it grossed over $140 million that summer, and turned Bruce Willis—a comedic TV actor—into a blockbuster superstar. Its success sparked a franchise of four sequels, video games, and a comic book—it also spawned a string of movies that involve a random citizen turns into a hero against overwhelming odds.
Considered a Christmas picture, Die Hard portrays off-duty NYC cop John McClane (Willis) trying to rescue his wife in a skyscraper where her office holiday party is being terrorized by gunmen. The lead villain, Hans Gruber, was played by Alan Rickman in his first film role ever.CHECK OUT: 13 Surprising Facts About Die Hard or WATCH the trailer below, featuring all the iconic lines… (1988)
