The original Die Hard released in 1988 remains one of THE most influential movies of all time as it pretty much set the template for dozens and dozens of action films to follow....just over eight years after it was first released, this was the first one to transport that core story to an ice hockey arena. :)In the lead role of a John McClane-like hero, it starred the "Muscles from Brussels" at the peak of his popularity, Jean Claude Van Damme. And in the critical role of a commanding Hans Gruber-like villain, it starred the reliably charismatic Powers Boothe. One of them holds the lives of more than 17,000 Pittsburgh hockey fans in his hands....and ONE of them stands in his way, WHO will be victorious when the final horn goes off? In the sure hands of journeyman genre director Peter Hyams (Running Scared, Outland), there's only one way to find out!
