NYPD cop John McClane's plan to reconcile with his estranged wife is thrown for a serious loop when, minutes after he arrives at her offices Christmas Party, the entire building is overtaken by a group of terrorists. With little help from the LAPD, wisecracking McClane sets out to single-handedly rescue the hostages and bring the bad guys down.
Editor's Verdict
"Die Hard meets the criteria for a Christmas movie due to its setting during a Christmas party, the plot being initiated by that party, and the strong presence of Christmas iconography and themes of family reconciliation, all occurring during the holiday. It leans heavily into the seasonal context despite being an action film."
