Dwayne Johnson has been teasing his "original concept" movie for a while now, and we finally got a look at it during the Super Bowl. And, well, it's very difficult to ignore the major Die Hard vibes in it.

Johnson plays a former FBI agent who now works as a "glorified security guard", and has to save his family from an attack on a Skyscraper. The action looks impressive, and it'll no doubt be a lot of fun, while there's a different angle with Johnson playing someone who was injured in the line of duty and has a prosthetic foot, but the big takeaway feel is that this is Die Hard with The Rock. Which sounds pretty great to be honest.
