| − | |Although most ''Die Hard'' movies were largely politically neutral, this film portrays the CIA in a positive light, and in addition both the main and surprise villains are unrepentant former Soviet communists who intended to access Cold War-era nuclear weapons and sell them on the black market, and was also pro-family due to John McClain trying to reconnect with his son Jack. The villains are also depicted as being anti-American. Despite this, however, it was largely a box office failure, and also has fairly weak story elements. | + | |Although most ''Die Hard'' movies were largely politically neutral, this film portrays the CIA in a positive light, and in addition both the main and surprise villains are unrepentant former Soviet communists who intended to access Cold War-era weapons grade uranium and sell them on the black market, and was also pro-family due to John McClain trying to reconnect with his son Jack.
