If you're looking to watch one of the most iconic action films of all time this Christmas then you might be in luck, as Die Hard is available to stream on Disney+ for all subscribers.
The 1988 action classic stars Bruce Willis as New York City cop John McClane, who faces overwhelming odds when his estranged wife's office building is targeted by terrorists.
Die Hard is available alongside its sequels Die Hard 2, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Die Hard 4.0 and A Good Day to Die Hard, which can also be streamed on Disney+.
If you have a Disney+ subscription, you can stream Die Hard at no extra cost this Christmas. And if not, don't sweat it: you can gain instant access to the platform by signing up to one of the following membership tiers:
- Disney+ Standard with ads: £4.99/month
- Disney+ Standard: £7.99/month (or £79.90/year)
- Disney+ Premium: £10.99/month (or £109.90/year)
While all tiers will give you access to Die Hard, only the Premium subscription will equip you to watch Detective McClane throw down in glorious 4k. You can find more info in our guide to the Disney+ pricing tiers.
What to Read Next
Unfortunately, Disney+ is not offering any free trials or discounts at present. However, if you're shopping for a new smartphone this Christmas, then you can pick up a free 12-month Disney+ subscription when you buy selected Samsung models via EE.
O2 also offers Disney+ access as an Extra on selected packages, or customers can add Disney+ Premium for a discounted price of £7.99 per month, and also receive a £2 per month credit towards their phone bill.
Whether it's the never-ending discourse of whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie like RoboCop 3, or you're just looking for an excuse to watch John McClane run barefoot through Nakatomi Plaza, there's no better time than now to watch.
Disney+ is home to exclusive Marvel and Star Wars content, so it's not just the Die Hard films you're getting when you subscribe.
By signing up, you get instant access to a wide range of movies and TV shows, including the recently released Pixar movie Elemental, and holiday classics like Home Alone, Jingle All the Way and many more.
