Is “Die Hard” a Christmas movie or isn’t it? As the debate rages on, the cinematic classic will be returning to theaters just in time for the holidays.
Originally released in 1988, “Die Hard” is a bloody action movie that happens to be set on Christmas. Every year, fans debate over whether they consider the film to be a genuine Christmas movie, or just a film that happens to be set on Christmas, with some arguing that there’s a big difference between the two. In any case, per AMC, it’s been announced that “Die Hard” is coming back to theaters for this year’s Christmas season, set to hit the big screen for a limited time starting on December 8, 2023.
“Die Hard” starred Bruce Willis as John McClane, a New York detective who gets caught up in a terrorist takeover of a Los Angeles skyscraper on Christmas Eve. The film also starred Alan Rickman, Alexander Godunov, Bonnie Bedelia, and Reginald VelJohnson. Based on Roderick Thorp’s novel “Nothing Lasts Forever,” the film was written by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza. John McTiernan directed.
