***½
Director: Renny Harlin
Cast: Bruce Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, William Sadler, William Atherton, Franco Nero, John Amos, Reginald VelJohnson

A group of terrorists take over the Dulles airport and its air traffic control systems in Washington D.C., which leaves a number of planes in the air in danger of running out of fuel. This includes a plane carrying Mrs. John McClane. The first sequel to Die Hard is an entertaining action movie, but, to paraphrase the protagonist, how can the same shit happen to the same guy twice? Based on Walter Wager's novel 58 Minutes. Followed by Die Hard with a Vengeance.
