Named after a meme within the entertainment industry based on the movie of the same name, starring Bruce Willis. One of the most important action films of all time, if all the copycat ripoffs are any indication. An old story says that the pitches for many action films basically went "Die Hard on a...", until one day, someone tried to pitch a movie as "Die Hard in an Office Building." Apparently, they were unaware that the original Die Hard did take place in an office building. This plot can be used as the action for a Bottle Episode. The bad guys may unknowingly have Bruce Wayne Held Hostage. Expect to see at least one Bulletproof Human Shield show up. See also All Your Base Are Belong to Us, Spanner in the Works.
