de Souzaīased on Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp

The film also ranks #29 on Empire's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time. Die Hard has been named one of the best action and Christmas-themed films ever made. The film's success created the Die Hard franchise, which includes four sequels, a number of video games, and a comic book, and later in 2017 was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Made for $28 million, Die Hard grossed over $140 million theatrically worldwide, with the film turning Willis into an action star, and became a metonym for an action film in which a lone hero fights overwhelming odds. Fox was contractually obligated to offer Sinatra the lead role in Die Hard, but he turned it down after Arnold Schwarzenegger declined to shoot the film as a sequel to his 1985 action film Commando, Fox reluctantly gave the role to Willis, then known as a comedic television actor. It is based on Roderick Thorp's 1979 novel Nothing Lasts Forever, the sequel to 1966's The Detective, adapted into a 1968 film of the same name starring Frank Sinatra. The film follows off-duty New York City Police Department officer John McClane (Bruce Willis) who is caught in a Los Angeles skyscraper during a Christmas Eve heist led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman). It was produced by the Gordon Company and Silver Pictures, and distributed by 20th Century Fox.
