Die Hard 2 - Die Harder (Widescreen Edition)
Description
Bruce Willis returns as the heroic cop who battles not only terrorists, but also an incompetent airport police chief (Dennis Franz), the hard-headed commander (John Amos) of the Army's anti-terrorist squad and a deadly winter snowstorm. The runways are littered with death and destruction, and McClane is in a race against time. His wife (Bonnie Bedelia) is trapped on one of the planes circling overhead, which is desperately low on fuel. It's all-out war, a heart-stopping, jet-propelled journey filled with excitement and terror. Fasten your seat belts!

Directed by Renny Harlin, the 1990 sequel, Die Hard 2 (unofficially referred to as Die Harder), doesn't match the level of the original, but it's still an exciting thrill ride with some terrific action sequences. One year after the Nakatomi incident, McClane (Willis) is awaiting his wife's (Bedelia) plane to arrive at Dulles Airport when he stumbles onto a plot to paralyze the entire airport, including all the planes trying to land. It's up to McClane to take on the cadre of bad guys despite all the bureaucrats standing in his way, and before the planes run out of fuel and crash to the ground. The cast includes William Sadler as rogue military man Col. Stuart, Dennis Franz as the latest bureaucratic cop to get in McClane's way, Richard Thornburg as the annoying reporter from the original movie, John Amos as a special-forces commander, early-in-their-career John Leguizamo and Robert Patrick as terrorists, and future politician and Law and Order actor Fred Thompson as the head of air traffic control. --David Horiuchi

Die Hard 2 (Blu Ray)
This is the second best in the Die Hard series. The Blu Ray edition makes it even more fun at the movies. Check it out for yourself.Die Hard 2 - Die Harder (Widescreen Edition)
More than enough action.
Die Hard 2, like so many other sequels, fails to live up to it's predecessor. That said, this is still a successful film. Don't continuously compare to the 1988 film, and you'll probably like it. John McClane is now a minor celebrity for his exploits at the Nakatomi building in Los Angeles. He is at the Dulles international airport in D.C., waiting for Holly's plane to arrive. It just so happens that a disposed Dictator, General Esperansa (Franco Nero) will be arriving at the airport. A group of highly-trained thugs, led by Colonel Stewart (William Sanderson) have plans to see to it that the Dictator is well taken of. Immediately, McClane knows something is up, but the police chief, Lorenzo (Dennis Franz) is an idiot who doesn't seem to appreciate what McClane is doing. Why is it that most police chiefs are incompetent? I wonder how they ever got to where they are. McClane also had to deal with a dumb chief last time ("We're gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess") Although John McTiernan directed the previous film, Renny Harlin stepped as director for this sequel. He is not a great director, but capably handles the material and delivers plenty of what to expect: knock-out action scenes. Returning as McClane, Willis creates a very likable hero and wise-@$$. Sheila McCarthy. playing a news reporter, proves to be very annoying. It's a wonder that McClane didn't shoot her. There's a horrific plane-crash in this film, so I doubt this is the best film to see for those with a fear of flying. Film is a little much at times (Did anybody else hate it when the old-church guy is killed?), but provides entertainment, which is the movie's goal, and it succeeds.Die Hard 2 - Die Harder (Widescreen Edition)
