New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) travels to Los Angeles to reconcile with his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia) and finds himself in the middle of an international hostage situation.

Remember when John McClane was just a guy? You know, back before he could maneuver a careening car into taking out a helicopter? I miss those days. I mean yeah I enjoyed Live Free Or Die Hard as an action film, but that sure as shit wasn't John McClane crawling around on top of a jet fighter. Or maybe it is. Maybe after three run-ins with terrorist masterminds God automatically upgrades you to Übermensch! Who knows? What I do know is that the original film still holds up as a true masterpiece of action cinema. And it's also one heck of a Christmas movie too! YIPPEE KI-YAY MOTHERFUCKER!
