Megapopular Bruce Willis became famous and recognizable all over the world thanks to this hero. Lieutenant John McClain made the actor a real Hollywood star. And almost every child knows the character himself, almost from the cradle. But what the hero is like in general, and what kind of life he lives, we will find out in the article below.

What a serious "nut" consists of

John is the most ordinary New York police officer who has been working in the police for 11 years. Every day he goes to work in order to save the citizens from the bad guys. But as they say, if you save someone else's, you lose your own. So McClain - failed to save the marriage from a split. The wife left him, unable to bear the constant absence of her husband, taking with her son Jack and daughter Lucy.

John is endowed with an incredible sense of duty, therefore, unable to come to terms with the departure of his beloved, he decides to suddenly appear in Los Angeles, in the hope of saving the remnants of his marriage. But unfortunately, a group of terrorists bursts into the building where his wife worked, and John has no choice but to save the world.

By the way, he did it very effectively and with a good portion of humor. John McClane's catchphrases can be heard anywhere as long as "Yippee ki-yay"which our hero uses in every part of Die Hard. At one time, this phrase "broke" many heads looking for a translation. But these words are just from a song about cowboys. And McClane used it when the villain Hans Gruber called him "Mr. Cowboy".
