A blockbuster from the golden age of edge-of-your-seat thrillers has just landed on streaming platforms, following audiences' consumption of another massive action spectacle and another 90s classic landed earlier this year, reports the Mirror . Released in 1995, the film became that year's highest-earning picture as cinema-goers worldwide queued up to see it. Die Hard: With a Vengeance served as the follow-up to the 1988 original Die Hard and its 1990 successor Die Hard 2. This third instalment in the series has frequently been praised as a worthy continuation of the action saga. Die Hard: With a Vengeance returned to NYPD officer John McClane (portrayed by Bruce Willis), now a burnt-out, booze-dependent divorcé, who found himself trapped in a warped game of Simon Says with a deranged bomber terrorising New York City. McClane found himself teaming up with local store owner Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson) as they attempted to thwart the villain Simon Gruber (Jeremy Irons) upon discovering his scheme to pilfer gold reserves from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The film continues to be regarded as a timeless classic, with IMDb users singing its praises. One perfect 10/10 rating declared: "Die Hard With A Vengeance is not only a great movie, it is arguably the best masterpiece sequel of all time!" Another reviewer hailed the film as an "Action comedy masterpiece", commenting: "It's very rare for the first three films in a movie franchise to be consistently excellent, but that's the case with the DIE HARD series. The first one was an action movie masterpiece and hugely influential to this day. "The second one is disliked by some, but I think it's very nearly the equal of the first, doing a tricky job of being the same but different at the same time. "And the third is just a delight, an action comedy masterpiece that wreaks havoc throughout New York." A third viewer entitled their critique: "This Die Hard is the fastest moving of the trilogy" and elaborated: "I like this one about as much as I like the first one. "The first one had a better plot and was more tense, but this one moves at a very fast rate and it seems like it is over before it begins. "A vast improvement over part two, this movie once again finds McClane in the middle of an emergency situation." Another fan lauded the picture, declaring: "The Best Installment In The Die Hard Trilogy." They went on: "Die Hard:With A Vengeance deserves to be ranked in a top ten list of action movies. The first two Die Hard movies were brilliant but this installment just blows the first two out of the water." Following Die Hard: With a Vengeance, it would take 12 years before Hollywood icon Willis returned to the franchise with Live Free or Die Hard. The Die Hard franchise comprises five films in total, with the last one, A Good Day to Die Hard, released in 2013. Die Hard: With a Vengeance is streaming on BBC iPlayer now
