Synopsis
One year after his heroics in Los Angeles, John McClane is an off-duty cop who is the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. On a snowy Christmas Eve, as he waits for his wife's plane to land at Washington Dulles International Airport, terrorists take over the air traffic control system in a plot to free a South American army general and drug smuggler being flown into the US to face drug charges. It's now up to McClane to take on the terrorists, while coping with an inept airport police chief, an uncooperative anti-terrorist squad, and the life of his wife and everyone else trapped in planes circling overhead.

Viewers generally find 'Die Hard 2' a thrilling continuation of John McClane's adventures, though some feel it doesn't quite match the original. The film is praised for its action-packed sequences and Bruce Willis's charismatic performance. While it effectively recreates the successful formula of its predecessor with a new backdrop and high stakes, some viewers find it less innovative or slightly inferior to the first film. Overall, it's considered a solid entry in the action genre that keeps the spirit of Christmas and heroism alive.
👍 Bruce Willis shines with humor and tenacity.
👎 May feel repetitive compared to the first.
