Die Hard's Later Sequels Completely Missed The Point Of John McClane
Die Hard's John McClane was supposed to be the antidote to invulnerable action heroes like Rambo - until later sequels turned him into just that.
A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
A Good Day to Die Hard, the fifth installment in the franchise, brings back Bruce Willis as John McClane, who teams up with his estranged son Jack (Jai Courtney) to take down a terrorist plot in Moscow, Russia. Directed by John Moore and featuring explosive action sequences and wisecracking humor, the film delivers the high-octane thrills that fans of the franchise have come to expect.
