In this new column, we present a case that’s up for debate. And then we settle it. Welcome to The Great Debate.
Synopsis
If you’re one of the few who hasn’t seen Die Hard, or doesn’t know what Die Hard is about, here is a brief synopsis.
New York City Police Department detective John McClane flies to Los Angeles to reconcile with his wife from who he is separated. He goes to join her at her company Christmas party, the Nakatomi Corporation, at their building the Nakatomi Plaza.
While McClane is in his wife Holly’s office changing for the party, the party is interrupted by a team of German terrorists, led by Hans Gruber. Everyone at the party is taken hostage, but McClane sneaks away.
And thus begins a cat and mouse, shoot-em-up, action-packed classic movie of the good guy versus lots of bad buys. Guns, explosions, quippy one-liners, and a high-stakes finale — it is a cinematic classic and set a standard for action movies going forward.
