Aka: Die Hard 2: Die Harder
After the terrifying events in LA, John McClane (Willis) is about to go through it all again. A team of terrorists, led by Col. Stuart (Sadler) is holding the entire airport hostage. The terrorists are planning to rescue a drug lord from justice. In order to do so, they have seized control of all electrical equipment affecting all planes. With no runway lights available, all aircraft have to remain in the air, with fuel running low, McClane will need to be fast.
In this sequel to the classic action movie, renegade commandos seize a major international airport to rescue a drug lord from justice. Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis), there to meet his wife, must battle incompetent airport security, hard-headed, gung-ho anti-terrorist squads and a deadly winter snowstorm to break the terrorist's grip before his wife's plane runs out of fuel. Based on the novel "58 Minutes" by Walter Wager.
Als de agent John McClane weer eens voor kerst in Washington is, ziet hij iets vreemds op de luchthaven. Hij grijpt in en ontdekt dat het om zeer zware jongens gaat, al weet hij niet wat ze van plan zijn. Als de politie eenmaal doorheeft dat hij gelijk heeft is het al te laat. Terroristen hebben de luchthaven en de toestellen in de lucht in hun macht en in één van die toestellen zit John's vrouw. Hij tracht verborgen te blijven, de terroristen uit te schakelen en zeker niet makkelijk dood te gaan, net als vorig jaar.
"Another basement, another elevator...how can the same thing happen to the same guy twice?" asks John McClane (Bruce Willis), in what is doubtless the key question of this film. A year after foiling the terrorist takeover of a high-rise office building in the first movie, McClane is waiting to pick up his wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), at Dulles International Airport just outside Washington, D.C., on Christmas Eve. Scheduled to arrive the same evening is Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero), a South American political figure who is being brought to the United States to stand trial for his role in a drug-smuggling ring.

owever, a group of terrorists, led by renegade American military officer Col. Stuart (William Sadler), take control of the airport, scuttling radio transmissions and placing their own men in the control tower. Stuart and his men ensure that Esperanza's plane lands safely, and then demand that Stuart and his men be given a fully-fueled 747 and free passage wherever they choose to go. Otherwise, they will guide the many circling jets waiting for landing instructions into definite crash landings, killing the many passengers on board. Not willing to stand aside as terrorists once again threaten his wife's life, the wise-cracking McClane once again leaps into action to foil Stuart's plans and bring the passenger jets safely to the ground. William Atherton, John Amos, Dennis Franz, and John Leguizamo highlight the supporting cast.

Die Hard 2 News Articles
"The first casualty of war is innocence. Oops, the truth. I meant the first casualty of war is always the truth." Here's the first trailer for Renny Harlin 's 5 Days of War, which covers people trying to cover the war that broke out between Russia and Georgia in 2008. Serious topics aren't exactly in the director's wheelhouse; he's best known for sequels ( Die Hard 2 , Nightmare on Elm St. 4) and the occasionally effective action movie ( The Long Kiss Goodnight , Cliffhanger ). So I've been interested to see what comes of this slightly more serious project since it was announced [1] in 2009. Harlin's facility with action is certainly on display in this trailer, and I can't really tell whether or not to have any expectations beyond that. Check it out below and make your own call. As previously reported, this one stars [2] Rupert Friend , Emmanuelle Chriqui , Richard Coyle , Andy Garcia , and Val Kilmer . The footage looks slick,
