Holly, an employee for the Nakatomi Corporation, is at her work’s Christmas party, where McClane has met her after the long flight. When terrorists led by Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) take over Nakatomi Plaza, McClane is the only one inside that can save the day.

Now, you might be thinking “isn’t Die Hard a Christmas movie?” You would absolutely be correct, but the reality is, there’s no bad time to watch Die Hard. So, whether you’re someone that has never seen this Christmas classic, or if you’ve seen it dozens of times, today’s Call of Duty watch party is the perfect excuse to check out the film!
