New York policeman John McClane (Bruce Willis) flies to Los Angeles bearing presents and hoping to patch up his marriage. Hans Gruber is in LA to take bearer bonds from the Nakatomi Corp, where McClane's wife Holly is an executive. When the takeover becomes hostile, it's up to McClane to take on the terrorists with all the grit and determination he can muster--but not without a sense of humour.

What better way to celebrate the end of 2024 and our Art of Action season with a cult christmas action classic!
