Die Hard Movies: Classic Trilogy
The original Die Hard trilogy that defined the franchise and established John McClane (Bruce Willis) as one of action cinema's most well-known heroes. These three films capture the essence of what made Die Hard special - an everyman cop in the wrong place at the wrong time, facing off against memorable villains in confined, high-stakes scenarios.
The trilogy focuses on practical effects and grounded action, showcasing the franchise at its creative peak. From the claustrophobic skyscraper tension of the original to the cat-and-mouse games across New York City, these films represent the essence of McClane's character without getting into the somewhat CGI-heavy later entries.
