Die Hard 2: Die Harder Dubbed VHS Video McClane, now with the LAPD, encounters a group of armed terrorists at the airport he visits to pick up his wife. The airport is seized, and planes unable to land face the risk of crashing. McClane engages in a fierce battle with the group to avoid the worst-case scenario. "Die Hard 2: Die Harder" is a 1990 American film, the sequel to "Die Hard" (1988). The setting moves from the skyscraper of the first film to an airport, and it's an action movie depicting the exploits of Detective John McClane once again. Initially, John McTiernan was scheduled to direct, following the first film, but he was in the middle of filming "The Hunt for Red October" and couldn't adjust his schedule, so Renny Harlin directed.
