Bruce Willis is back in the second instalment of the "Die Hard" franchise, which sees Willis's character, valiant LA detective John McClane, caught in yet another terrorist ambush. Set at the Washington Dulles International Airport, McClane is anxiously twiddling his thumbs waiting for his wife's flight to land when he spots South American politico and drug lord Ramon Esperanza arrive and then escape from US custody. It's quickly made clear that the airport is being held hostage by Ramon's terrorist organisation, who've taken control of all electrical equipment meaning no runway lights, no ground control, and a several planes hovering over the airport low on fuel. It's up to McClane to save the day once again.
