With the dissolution of the Cold War, both the stereotypical Russian threat (represented in movies such as TOP GUN and RED DAWN) and the destructive egoist (as seen in OCTOPUSSY) became less fearful.

Alan Rickman stars as Hans Gruber, a relentless businessman whose lethal tactics achieve his goals. Unlike most '80s film villains who committed globally dangerous acts for liberty, genocide, or megalomania, DIE HARD's Gruber uses guns, explosives, and cunning to storm the Takagi Corporation's Christmas party and heist millions of dollars from the company. In addition, DIE HARD also saw the development of the clumsy or bad luck hero with John McClane (Bruce Willis), a man in the wrong place at the wrong time who chooses to intervene. Action fans would see this misfit hero archetype again in UNDE...

Die Hard

The Bottom Line: A great action flick.
Review: This is one of the best action movies out there. You have good acting, plenty of fighting, and buildings exploding. What more could you want? In a time where computer generated graphics were in its infancy this film produced some terrific action...

Down in Flames

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2002
The Bottom Line: John McTiernan's Die Hard redefined the modern action film and made Bruce Willis a star.
Review: Joseph, my manager, booked me as a major entertainer on another tropical cruise this week, figuring it was the sort of restful gig I needed, after my harrowing ordeal in the rehabilitation center. I expected a private plane and pampered treatment...
