Look who's back in the wrong place at the right time.

It's Christmas, and Lieutenant John McClane of the Los Angeles Police Department arrives at Washington, D.C.'s Dulles International Airport to pick up his wife, Holly, whose plane has not yet landed. As soon as he parks, airport police officer Vito Lorenzo confronts him with hostility and gives him a ticket. McClane settles into the terminal to wait for his wife, but the calm doesn't last long. An armed group takes control of the air traffic control system, and several planes, including Holly's, begin circling the airport with fuel running low. Directed by Renny Harlin and starring Bruce Willis, who once again brings detective McClane to life.

Trivia about Die Hard 2

The scenes set at snowy Dulles Airport were supposed to be shot in Denver, but the project was canceled due to warm weather. The production had to turn to other locations and fake snow.

Die Hard 2 was the first film to use live-action action sequences digitally composited with a traditional matte painting, which was photographed and scanned into a computer.

Michael Kamen adapted Jean Sibelius's "Finlandia" for the soundtrack, and also reused several tracks from his earlier work for the action sequences in the first film.

Franco Nero was cast after the producer, Joel Silver, saw his posters hanging in the office of the accountant they shared. Nero did not want to make the movie because he didn't like the script.

In its first week, the movie outperformed Navy SEALs in video rentals, setting a record of 505,000 rental units.

The movie grossed 35.5 million dollars in its first five days, posted the fourth-best opening on record at the time, and topped the box office, ahead of "Days of Thunder."

Black & Decker sued 20th Century Fox for 150,000 dollars because a scene was cut in which Bruce Willis used the brand's cordless drill to remove a grate.

The production surpassed 100 million dollars in U.S. box office receipts in 41 days, according to figures released during its release in 1990.
