Bruce Willis after 34 years at the top of the famous skyscraper
In a video posted by the actor's wife on Instagram, scenes from the cult film "Die Hard" alternate with Bruce's latest footage.
Bruce Willis who played detective John McClane in the cult film "Die Hard" returned to the top of the Los Angeles skyscraper where his character fought terrorists.
The actor is celebrating the 34th anniversary of the film, and with his wife, Emma Heming Willis, he visited the building in the "City of Angels", and the moment was immortalized on Instagram.
In the video that Heming Willis published on her profile, scenes from the film and Bruce's latest recording are alternated with the music of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". "Nakatomi Plaza 34 years later," wrote the actor's wife.
In the 1988 action thriller, McClane visits his wife (Bonnie Bedelia) and their daughters on New Year's Eve. He joins a woman at a party organized by her company in the Nakatomi Plaza building, which becomes a terrorist target.
The success of the film in which Willis' protagonist rescues the hostages led to the development of the entire franchise in the form of four more film sequels. In 2007, the actor told Entertainment Weekly that his desire for a film that lived up to the original was what kept him returning to the role of McClane.

“The first one will always be my favorite. I wanted to make a film in an old style, that would also be part of the 21st century and that could talk about terrorism in the post-9/11 era without being afraid to say the word 'terrorist,'" Willis said.
In March of this year, the actor announced that he was retiring from the world of film after being diagnosed with aphasia, which affects the ability to speak, as a result of brain damage.
Die Hard, one of the best action movies of all time, premiered in barely twenty theaters in America on July 15, 1988. And 34 years later, explosions, gunfire, and a recognizable, yet modified, cowboy replica still successfully withstand the test of time.
However, like many great Hollywood films, "Die Hard" had to go through a thorny road, and die several times itself, before it was showered with the success it deserved.
