‘Die Hard’ is an American action film series, with the first film based on Roderick Thorp's novel entitled Nothing Lasts Forever.

Altogether, the five films have grossed a total of $1.4 billion worldwide.

The portrayal of the main protagonist as imperfect, in contrast to the invincible heroes of other films, led to its success. ‘Die Hard’ is now considered one of the greatest action films, and is also said to revive the genre.

‘Die Hard’ features the story of John McClane, portrayed by Bruce Willis.
