Die Hard Vendetta

Product Information

A landmark action thriller movie franchise that started with the greatest Christmas movie ever made in 1988 when the world was introduced to a new kind of badass, John McClane. He is usually called " the right man in the wrong place at the wrong time." Bruce Willis stars as McClane, a New York cop who usually has to employ his skills in a situation that has since been called "Die Hard" on an X— he is usually trapped inside a location and has to climb around in air ducts and counter the bad guys' plot. The setup is slightly different in each film (mostly depending on the location), but he always finds himself in the way of terrorists hatching some sort of plot (which ends up serving as an elaborate robbery).
