Die Hard 2

Renny Harlin · 1990 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

The same detective is waiting at Dulles on Christmas Eve for his wife's flight when mercenaries seize the airport's systems to free a South American general due in on a military transport, and the aircraft stacked overhead start running out of fuel. Airport police and an army anti-terrorist unit both order him to stand clear. Harlin moved the formula outdoors and proved a single siege premise could be franchised.
