10 Greatest "Die Hard On A...." Movies

Just as it was with JCVD, it was also somewhat inevitable really that at some stage Sylvester Stallone would climb aboard the Die Hard bandwagon. In Cliffhanger, he took the premise to new heights. I make no apologies for that joke.

Stallone plays an emotionally traumatised mountain rescuer who is forced to take action when John Lithgow (in full-on scenery chewing mode) and his minions seek to steal $100million from the US Treasury. Their plan goes majorly awry however and when their escape plane crashes, they find themselves stuck on a mountain as they seek to retrieve their ill-gotten gains.

Stallone's"Gabe" Walker however has other ideas and via a series of increasingly dangerous stunts, he sets about thwarting their evil schemes. A deviation from standard "Die Hard" based movies in that it is set in the great outdoors rather than an enclosed space, but the formula is otherwise present and correct.
