One of the greatest action movies of the late eighties, DIE HARD, ushered in a new standard for action films. With the dissolution of the Cold War, both the stereotypical Russian threat (TOP GUN, RED DAWN) and the destructive egoist (OCTOPUSSY) became less fearful. With DIE HARD, director John McTiernan introduced Hollywood to a new type of villain: the terrorist entrepreneur. Alan Rickman stars as Hans Gruber, an relentless businessman whose lethal tactics achieve his goals.
Unlike most 1980s film villains who committed globally dangerous acts for liberty, genocide, or megalomania, DIE HARD's Gruber uses guns, explosives and cunning to storm the Takagi Corporation's Christmas party and heist millions of dollars form the company. In addition, DIE HARD also saw the development of the clumsy or bad luck hero, John McClane (Bruce Willis) - a man in the wrong place at the wrong time who chooses to intervene. McClane overcomes incredible odds in attempting to foil Gruber's plot. Action fans would see this misfit hero archetype again in UNDER SIEGE (Steven Segal) and THE PHANTOM MENACE (Jar Jar Binks). Although DIE HARD contains many action movie cliches (one-liners, pyrotechnics), it also broke new ground in its genre.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseInteractive MenusScene SelectionOriginal Theatrical Trailer

Possibly the closest that Jack Nicholson has ever come to playing an old-fashioned hero was the role of Charlie Smith, in a film whose writers had worked on THE WILD BUNCH and THE DEER HUNTER.
A U.S. border patrol guard who's disenchanted with his work, Charlie accedes to his wife, Marcy's (Valerie Perrine), wishes to move to El Paso so they can enjoy a higher standard of living and stay in a duplex near her friend Savannah (Shannon Wilcox), and her husband, Cat (Harvey Keitel), who also works for the border patrol. But after relocating, Charlie is so appalled by the level of corruption and bribery of the area's guards, which includes running illegal aliens across the border to work as farmhands and which is run by Cat, that he initially opts not to become involved. He realizes he has to go on the take, however, when Marcy, an eager consumer, racks up some serious debts while decorating their new apartment. Charlie takes an interest in Maria (Elpidia Carrillo), an illegal who has returned the hubcaps her brother stole from him, regarding her as an emblem of the purity long absent from his own life. When her baby is kidnapped and sold to Cat for resale to adoptive parents, Charlie decides to act. Jack shelves his usual mannerisms to give one of the most powerful and underrated performances of his career, in an effective, low-key melodrama about a situation that hasn't changed a whit in the decades since the film was made.DVD Features:Region 1Keep Case

Struck by lightning in midair, a 747 has begun hurtling its passengers towards their doom. With the pilot and copilot dead, there is no one to safely guide the plane down. Laurie (Jackson), the head flight attendant, and a passenger, Brett (Marino) take it upon themselves to try and save the plane. They are relieved to find that the auto-pilot can safely land them, but their relief doesn't last long; they soon determine that the auto-pilot can't lock in a suitable airport where the jumbo jet can land. Meanwhile, the Air Force is deciding whether they should just shoot the plane down over a deserted area rather than have it crash into a city.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus
