Can you believe it’s almost been four decades since the first Die Hard movie came out in 1984? Since then, Bruce Willis’ action vehicle has catapulted beyond Nakatomi Plaza with four sequels, comics, merch, video games, and over a billion dollars in combined worldwide box office. Basically, Die Hard refuses to die, and that’s how we like it.
Back when summer movies still meant something, 20th Century Fox took a risk when they released a high-concept film featuring a relatively unknown cast. Over thirty years later, Die Hard remains one of the greatest action movies… or Christmas movie, depending on who you ask.
In celebration of the holiday season, we wanted to look behind the scenes into the most controversial Christmas movies of all time. Is it a Christmas movie? Is it an action flick? We’ll let you be the judge of that.
