Has it really been 25 years since officer John McClane saved the day, or rather Christmas Eve and the hostages, including his wife at the Nakatomi Plaza? Oh yes, but that didn’t stop Bruce Willis from reprising the role thrice in the intervening years – or rather four times, since he’s also starring in the fifth Die Hard installmentthat’s coming out on Valentine’s Day.
In “A Good Day to Die Hard”, McClane travels to Moscow, meets his estranged son Jack and, as usual, accidentally gets involved in a terrorist scheme that he has to avert.
Mercedes-Benz has supplied the cars for the film that features almost all of the three-pointed star’s range, from the C-Class up to the venerable G-Wagen and Unimog and even the Zetros truck.
