The MAD Movie-A-Thon-O-Rama
Thursday, December 12, 2024 6 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.
SPECIAL MAD Movie-A-Thon-O-Rama CHRISTMAS Flick!
No sooner is New York cop John McClain off the plane in L.A. to meet his estranged wife Holly at her office Christmas party, terrorists invade the deserted Nakatomi Plaza and take a hundred drunk partygoers who should be home with their families hostage. Cut off from the rest of the world and barefoot, it's up to McClain to stop Hans Gruber and restore the regular, normal chaos of the holiday season we all know and love. Die Hard made Bruce Willis an instant star. Alan Rickman brought a whole new level of coolness to Gruber, and every major star in Hollywood wanted to play the bad guy for the next ten years. It is the perfect way to dive into the holiday season. Adult language, adult situations, gratuitous weapons action, gratuitous Bruce Willis quips, gratuitous multiple endings and cameo by RUN D.M.C.'s Christmas in Hollis. If you have only ever seen Die Hard on your couch at home, this is an opportunity to watch it with an audience and become enchanted by its holiday magic. Every time Hans Gruber falls off Nakatomi Plaza, an angel gets his wings. "Yippi-Kay-yay!" Auditorium opens at 6:00 p.m. and the movie begins at 6:30 p.m. Food and Drink are allowed in the Auditorium during the film. 132 mins.
