He never says his own name or shows any form of ID. John McClane, our protagonist, enters the building and addresses the security guard, mentioning only the name of his wife, whom he came to see. Security issues jump out right from the start. Sure, with Live Free or Die Hard (aka Die Hard 4.0), we got a plot really focused on critical infrastructure cybersecurity - and we’ll come to that in due course - but look closely and you’ll see plenty of examples of both good and shocking cybersecurity in the first movie as well.Īfter all, the Nakatomi Corporation uses the most cutting-edge technologies of the day: a mainframe that synchronizes with Tokyo-based servers, a computerized lock on the vault, and even a touch-screen information terminal in the lobby (don’t forget, we’re talking 1988 here). After all, 60% of John McClane’s encounters with terrorists take place on Christmas Eve, and I’m far from the only person associating the action classic with the holiday. As for me, my favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard. Some people love Christmas comedies, others favor melodramas. Many families spend the holidays watching favorite movies together, in lots of cases the same ones year after year, making Christmas and New Year’s traditions.
