If you loved The Hunt for Red October, try Die Hard
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John McTiernan, and they sit in Action / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Hunt for Red October, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Die Hard is
Los Angeles, Christmas Eve, elevator music. A high-rise office party turns sour, a group of armed men seize control, and one cop is left outside their trap. This is the action film that established the template for a generation of solo-hero thrillers.
