How Architecture Inspired Scenes in ‘Die Hard’ | All Things Architecture

In the opening scenes of 'Die Hard,' Bruce Willis' John McClane sees Nakatomi Plaza for the first time. Little does he know then, but he will soon be trapped inside, forced to fight a band of terrorists that have overtaken the tower.
