Your Guide to Die Hard (1988)

In 1988 no one expected to see Frank Sinatra up on the big screen running around bare foot, touting a machine gun. Believe it or not, Die Hard was initially offered to the classic singer due to contractual obligations. Being too old, he turned it down. It finally went to the relative unknown Bruce Willis. With studios iffy on how well the film would do but needing a summer blockbuster, they took a gamble. Now considered one of the greatest action films of all time, how well does it fair today after many have imitated its formula?
