Die Hard Series
In the first Die Hard film, German terrorists led by Hans Gruber take hostages at Nakatomi Plaza, but New York detective John McClane hides and picks them off one by one, complicating their plan to rob the vault. In Die Hard 2, McClane faces off against Colonel Stuart, who takes over Washington Airport with mercenaries to free a captured dictator. Die Hard with a Vengeance finds McClane down on his luck but forced into a deadly game by a terrorist named Simon, who has planted explosives around New York. McClane races to stop Simon once his real identity is revealed. In Live Free or Die Hard, McClane teams up with hacker Matt Farrell to stop cyber-criminals from attacking U.S. infrastructure, while villain Thomas Gabriel sends assassins after them.
