On this new entry in the special episode series Breaking It Apart, I'm joined by Sean O'Connell for an episode on Die Hard. The 1988 Bruce Willis led action film is one of the most beloved and influential action movies of all time, ushering in practically every action movie from the 90s and beyond. Puzzle pieces include Speed, Under Siege, Cliffhanger and Home Alone.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Die Hard and the movies we discuss!

Written by Jeb Stuart & Steve E de Souza

Directed by John McTiernan

Starring Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman
