AMC Theaters announced the Bruce Willis action flick Die Hard will return to limited theatres across the US for the holidays.

The original film starred Bruce Willis as New York cop John McClane, who attends his wife’s holiday party. Things take a violent turn when thieves posing as terrorists hold everyone hostage.   The movie was a hit and birthed four sequels when it was released. It also caused the ongoing debate about whether the film is a Christmas movie.  Die Hard was a huge success and catapulted Bruce Willis to action-film stardom. The film will be re-released at select theaters for a limited time beginning December 8.
