Where to stream 'genius' action film with Bruce Willis for free
A 'genius' action film that has become a fan favourite has been branded as "iconic" - and it is now available to stream at no cost.
After the huge success of the original film in 1988, Die Hard 2 swiftly hit cinemas in 1990. With Bruce Willis reprising his role as John McClane, it rapidly climbed the popularity charts amongst audiences.
Die Hard 2 sees John McClane (Bruce Willis) facing a gang of terrorists who are threatening an airport. Despite its August cinema debut, there remains considerable debate about whether the Die Hard franchise qualifies as festive viewing.
The plot summary states: "Action-packed sequel. Off-duty cop John McClane spots suspicious activity at snowy Dulles Airport, where the fate of incoming flights falls into the hands of a rogue colonel, resulting in carnage before Christmas."
Previously, viewers could access the film through a Disney Plus subscription. However, it's now available to watch without charge after being added to BBC iPlayer today (July 6), reports Surrey Live.
Despite its older release date, the movie continues to captivate audiences as glowing reviews keep flooding in. With the film being described as "iconic" and "genius", one enthusiast commented: "Die Hard 2 is a great action movie, it doesn't surpass the first one, but it's an amazing movie."
Another penned: ""Bigger, Badder, Better" said the movie poster for Die Hard 2 (Dieharder), and you know what, they're absolutely right. Swapping a Skyscraper and giving Police Officer "John McClane" (Action Star Bruce Willis) an entire Airport to play with is a genius idea, immediately upping the scope and scale from the first movie."
A third added: "As always with all Die Hard films, truly iconic and legendary. A great sequel with a great storyline, soundtrack, comedy, action, emotion, and intensity.
"A perfect family Christmas film to watch like the original, despite me watching it in April. With another, masterpiece and iconic performance by Bruce Willis, nailing his role as John McClaine as always."
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, one critic commented: "My favorite Die Hard movie."
Another commented: "Call me crazy but I think that this could be greater than the first one, and don't get me wrong the first one is a masterpiece of the action cinema but this one has more intensity, I don't know both are great movies."
Die Hard 2 features Bruce Willis alongside Bonnie Bedelia, William Sadler and Reginald VelJohnson.
