EVENTS UNFOLD OVER… A very eventful Christmas Eve
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THIS TIME: A New York City cop, in Los Angeles to visit his estranged wife, must save her (and her colleagues) from a group of terrorists who are holding the hostages in a swanky office building.
(APPROXIMATE) TIME THAT PASSES: From John McLane’s late-afternoon arrival at LAX to him and his wife climbing into a limo for a victory ride: 7 HOURS
SEMI-RELEVANT FACTOID: Having already appeared in several TV shows and well-regarded theatrical productions (with the Court Drama Group and the Royal Shakespeare Company), Alan Rickman made his feature-film debut in Die Hard.
