Die Hard (1988)
Die Hard (1988) defines the modern action genre with the most imitated formula: a relatable everyman trapped against overwhelming odds.

Its blueprint—star Bruce Willis as John McClane versus Alan Rickman's sophisticated Hans Gruber—became the defining template for 1990s action cinema with a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score.
