Die Hard 2 (or stylized as Die Hard 2: Die Harder, or Die Harder) is a 1990 action, thriller film directed by Renny Harlin, and it was distributed by 20th Century Fox. It's the sequel to 1988's Die Hard.

Plot
On December 24, 1990, two years after his heroics in Los Angeles, detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) is mixed up in another terrorist plot, this time at Washington Dulles International Airport, where he is waiting for his wife (Bonnie Bedelia). That same night, South American politico and drug profiteer Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) is arriving in U.S. custody. McClane takes action when a treasonous ex-colonel (William Sadler) seizes control of the airport, threatening to crash every inbound flight unless Esperanza is freed.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Bruce Willis still did a great performance as John McClane.
 * 2) A decent follow up from the first film.
 * 3) The action scenes are still great.
 * 4) The "Yippie-ki-yay, motherf*cker!" line still appears.
 * 5) Decent acting, especially for Bruce Williams, Bonnie Bedelia, William Atherson.
 * 6) William Sadler's performance as Colonel William Stuart is decent in many ways.
 * 7) The idea of having a film the airport gets attack by the South American terrorist is very great conceptly idea.
 * 8) William Stuart is a decent villain, he wanted to Free General Ramon Esperanza from custody, and ruining the Washington Dulles Airport and trying to get away from John McClane along with his minions...
 * 9) The explosion effects were even, bigger and greater than the original.
 * 10) Decent pacing.
 * 11) For an R-rated action film, the sequel is still sure gives plenty of Christmas themes to make this film look like a Christmas movie like the first film, (Maybe).
 * 12) The scene where John opens the fuel hatch, and burns the fuel with his cigarette and heading to Boeing 747 and blows the plane up at near the end of the film is VERY AWESOME!
 * 13) The soundtrack is still awesome like the first film that was performed by Michael Kamen.

Reception
The film receives positive reviews from critics, audiences, and fans of the original. It holds a 68% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Trivia

 * The Boeing 747's explosion at near the end of the film was very similar to Final Destination 5 's plane explosion.
