Die Hard: Bruce Willis stars as a lone cop locked in a desperate battle against terrorists who have taken over a Los Angeles high-rise in the blockbuster action thriller that started it all!
Die Hard 2: Bruce Willis is back as John McClane, the hard-boiled, soft-hearted cop with the unhealthy habit of spending the holidays battling battalions of ruthless terrorists. This stunning action-packed sequel is a heart-stopping, jet-propelled journey through excitement and terror.
Die Hard With A Vengeance: Detective John McClane thought he'd seen it all. He's safe at home in New York, the last place he expected to find his most unusual foe yet. But a genius named Simon is about to engage McClane and the city in a deadly game. McClane's seen his share of bad days, but this time Simon says McClane is about to have a really bad day.

DIE HARD: Five Star Collection: "If you don’t already own a DVD copy of Die Hard, this new 'Five Star Collection' release is an absolute 'must have'; it’s a great package that will make a nice addition to your DVD compilation."
DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER - SE: "I’d recommend the two-DVD release of Die Hard 2 to anyone who likes the film. Even if the extras don’t interest you, the stronger picture quality means that this new package merits your consideration."
DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE: SE: "The remastered picture doesn’t strongly improve upon the original one, but it still marks some progress, and the mix of extras makes it worth the repurchase."
