Die Hard With A Vengeance Analysis

Die hard was a primary action film but also a thriller at the same time.

This story mainly involves of action scenes, fighting, explosions and guns. This is because it is an action based thriller. There are many different techniques that are used throughout this film.

The story starts of to show us Bruce Willis in a truck drunk and out of work because he has been suspended from the police force. We then get to knowing a bomb has gone of in the city and this is due to wanting revenge.

The terrorist lures out Bruce Willis by saying if he does not come out of hiding the terrorist will carry on blowing up public places if he does not come out.

Bruce Willis comes out of hiding to talk to the terrorists and find out what they really want. They tell him they want him to play along with what they are asking. He does so and complete most of the tasks. However Bruce Willis knows that he will blow up the train no matter what so he finds the bomb and throws it out of the train so no one dies when it goes off.

This was only done to actually lure him into a trap they did not actually want to kill Bruce Willis but keep him out of the way while they steal a lot of gold from a bank.

Bruce Willis then notices that it is the brother of the terrorist he had killed before. So he knows that he would be after money. He puts all of the pieces together about the subway explosion and the placement.

So because of the placement it made a hole into the bank and a perfect route for them to rob it. Bruce WIllis goes into the bank and manages to kill the fake security guards and carries onto go down into the vault to see it has been totally emptied.

He then carries onto track the bag guy he find out that he is on a big cargo boat. They go through the boat to catch him but he is caught himself. They are then sat on top of a bomb. They are told that they are going to blow up all of the gold that they stole, but because Bruce Willis knows the family and how they act he knows they are not going to blow it up and keep it for there self.

Just before the bad guy leaves he give Bruce Willis some pills. When they just escape the boat and they are getting all their injuries treated. Bruce looks on the bottom of the pills bottle and see's a location they go there and notice that they did steal the gold and are celebrating.

The last part of the film was a chase scene/ shootout. This was when the main bad guy was in the helicopter and Bruce had 2 bullets he managed to shoot some wires that fell and blew up the helicopter the bad guy was in.

The techniques that was used in this film was:
Plot twists this was because we thought that the terrorist was doing this out of pure revenge but we start to see them building up to rob the bank.

The next technique that was used was a red herring this is because we thought that Bruce Willis would be able to catch them while they are still extracting the gold form the vault but they had already stole it and managed to leave.

There was another red herring this was to blow up all of the gold that they have stolen this didn't happen because there was another plot twist that they did steal the gold just so the country and media think that they did so they became very well known people, but they really stole the gold and wanted to buy a island.
